What are the responsibilities and job description for the Young Adult Ministry Coordinator position at Vineyard Christian Fellowship?
The Young Adult Ministry Coordinator at our Westerville Campus is a part-time (20 hours/week) ministry leadership position that plays a key role in helping young adults find meaningful community, grow in their faith, and take next steps in following Jesus. This person will provide relational, organizational, and administrative support for Vineyard Columbus' young adult ministry, helping create environments where young adults can build authentic relationships, deepen their faith, and engage in the life of the church.
