About The Position

Watsontown Alliance Church is hiring a full-time Assistant Pastor for Youth and Worship. The position focuses on youth ministry (20–25 hours per week), worship ministry (15–20 hours per week), and teaching (approximately 5 hours per week). The Assistant Pastor will provide pastoral leadership for the annual youth program serving grades 6–12 and lead the church’s worship ministries. The role also includes teaching during Sunday morning worship approximately 2–4 times per year.
