    Description
    Join Our Team at Christ Church

    Position:
    Quest Teens Director (Rockaway Campus)

    At Christ Church, every role matters - because every team member matters.

    When you join our staff, you're not just taking a job; you're stepping into a calling where your work directly impacts the next generation and our mission of "Uniting People to God and People to People.

    "


    We're looking for a Quest Teens Director - a dynamic, faith-filled leader who is passionate about equipping middle school and high school students (grades 6-12) to know God, grow as disciples, and live on mission.

    If you love teaching, discipling, and creating environments where students thrive, this is your chance to shape the future of the Church today.

    Why You'll Love Working Here

    As the Quest Teens Director, you'll be at the heart of Christ Church's Rockaway Campus student ministry. You'll do more than run programs - you'll invest in lives.

    Every week, you'll teach, design discipleship experiences, mentor students, empower volunteers, and partner with parents to build a Christ-centered culture where young people can encounter God in powerful, lasting ways.

    This role isn't a behind-the-scenes job. It's active, relational, and full of energy.

    You'll lead retreats, mission trips, and serve days that change lives; partner with schools and community groups to reach new students; and equip teams of adult and student leaders to carry the mission forward.

    Along the way, you'll ensure every gathering is safe, welcoming, and excellent - creating spaces where students can experience authentic faith and lasting friendships.

    Here, your leadership doesn't just run a ministry - it multiplies impact.


    • You'll help students discover their identity in Christ and live it out boldly.
    • You'll join a collaborative, innovative, and supportive team that values your growth.
    • You'll get to do meaningful work in a fun, faith-filled environment where discipleship is central and community is celebrated.
    What You'll Do

    Plan unforgettable events:
    Think epic retreats, high-energy conferences, and mission trips that ignite faith and create lasting memories.

    You'll make sure every detail - from logistics to budgets - is handled with excellence so students can focus on what matters most.


    Develop leaders:

    You won't do this alone - you'll raise up an army of passionate adult leaders and student leaders, equipping them to step into their God-given gifts and lead with confidence.


    Keep things running smoothly:

    Behind the scenes, you'll steward budgets, track wins, and keep logistics on point so the ministry can grow wider, deeper, and stronger.


    • Partner with families & schools: You'll champion parents with resources and encouragement, and you'll take Christ Church into schools, clubs, and campus ministries so students know we're with them wherever they are.

    Ensure safety & care:

    Most of all, you'll create a safe, welcoming environment where every student feels seen, valued, and loved - and where leaders are equipped to respond with wisdom, compassion, and courage.

    Why This Role Matters


    Every student who walks through our doors is a story in progress - and your leadership helps shape their story with hope.

    From sermons and small groups to camps and missions, you'll create spaces where students can encounter Christ, grow in discipleship, and step into their God-given purpose.

    The way you teach, organize, and invest in others won't just impact students today - it will ripple into eternity.
