Gateway Community & Technical College•Prosper, TX

About The Position

The NextGen Coordinator runs the administrative and logistical operations of the NextGen ministry—serving kids and youth together—at one campus.

The position does not have pastoral duties, but is often the first point of contact for parents and students. The coordinator works within the ministry plan owned by the Pastor and supports the Pastors overseeing kids and youth environments. The role includes coordinating volunteers, schedules, calendars, administrative processes, records, supplies, events, check-in, guest experience, and campus spaces. The coordinator works with campus ministry and area support teams, reports ministry measures to the Pastor, and serves at weekend services and churchwide events as required by the ministry calendar. As a member of the Gateway Church team, the employee is expected to support, recruit, and develop Serve Team members and assist the broader team as ministry and organizational needs arise. Employment requires being a Gateway Church member or becoming one upon employment.
