Youth Pastors

Are you ready to lead the next generation in bold, Christ-centered discipleship?

Do you get excited about building a dynamic team of leaders and equipping students to live out the

Great Commission? If you’re energized by relational ministry, gospel-centered teaching,

leadership development, and creative programming, then keep reading—you just might be

the next team member at Crossroads Fellowship!

We are a thriving multi-site Christian church (non-denominational) in central North

Carolina that is searching for a passionate, full-time Youth Pastor at our Wake Forest

Campus. This person will inspire middle and high school students to know Jesus deeply,

live out their faith courageously, and impact their world for the Kingdom. This is more than a

job—it’s a calling to invest in students, raise up leaders, and ignite a movement of young

people who believe they are part of a revival generation. Compensation is on-par with what our local high school teachers earn.

Our Church (crossroads.org)

Crossroads Fellowship exists to develop fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ who want to

transform the Triangle and the world.

• We are a growing church, with two campuses: Raleigh(Milbrook) and Wake Forest

• We are passionate about connecting people to Jesus, one another, and meaningful

ministry.

• We practice being a light and a resource to our community in big and small ways.

through honesty. We embrace crucial conversations in a Biblical way and aim to

always “Do the Right Thing.”

• Collaboration – We believe “We are Better Together” . Our team communicates

openly, values diverse gifts and perspectives, and innovates through creative

problem-solving across campuses and departments.

• Passion – We’re “All In” for the Kingdom. Each of us brings energy, vision, and a

desire to see people grow spiritually, personally, and professionally.
