About The Position

Youth Ministry Resident (1-Year Position) Cross Community Church - Houston, TX (Northeast / Eastex Area) Cross Community Church is a 4-year-old, gospel-centered church plant in northeast Houston with a huge heart for our city and a vision to be a multi-generational, New Testament expression of the local church for the next generation. We gather in a renovated space God has redeemed after Hurricane Harvey, and we're passionate about reaching families and students in our diverse, hardworking community - The Eastex. We're prayerfully seeking a Youth Ministry Resident—a part-time, one-year role designed for an emerging leader (typically 21-30) who feels called to reach teenagers with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

This is an ideal “gap year” or post-college launching pad for someone testing a call to vocational ministry before seminary or a permanent staff role. Duration: 12 months (flexible start date). Potential for part-time or full-time employment at the conclusion of the residency. Compensation: Stipend based on 15-20 hours per week. Schedule: Part-time 15- 20 hours primarily on Sunday, Wednesday and special events.
