About The Position

The Student Ministry Director at First Baptist Church of Brandon serves as part of the NextGen team and the age-graded strategist for middle and high school students in the church’s mission to glorify God by reaching Brandon and the world for Jesus Christ. This role is designed for a collaborative leader who can thrive as part of a staff team.
