Crossroads Church | Belton, Texas

This isn't just another youth ministry position.At Crossroads Church, we believe the local church should look like heaven, a place where every generation, every background, every story, and every person can experience the hope of Jesus. We exist to Love Christ and Serve People, and our mission is to equip the saints to do the work of the ministry.

We're a fast-growing, life-giving church that refuses to settle for maintaining ministry. We're passionate about reaching people, developing leaders, and creating environments where lives are transformed.

We're looking for a Youth Pastor who has a passion for students. Someone who knows that ministry happens long before someone steps onto a platform. Someone who is willing to show up at football games, eat too much pizza, laugh often, answer late-night questions, celebrate victories, walk through difficult seasons, and point students toward Jesus every step of the way.
