Grace Fellowship seeks a passionate and dynamic individual to join our team as a Youth Director (Grades 6-12).

We hope this individual will help establish a longer-term (e.g., 5-year) strategic plan for the Youth Program at Grace Fellowship.

This is a full-time position reporting to our Senior Pastor with a competitive salary and benefits. If you are a passionate and dedicated individual with a heart for young people, we invite you to apply and learn more about us.
Grace Fellowship Youth Program
Our vision for the youth program at Grace Fellowship is to see young people transformed by the love of Christ, equipped to impact their world, and empowered to live out their God-given purpose. We want our youth and their friends outside the church to discover and cultivate a deep and authentic relationship with Jesus. We want our youth to have a strong foundation rooted in Biblical truths and a love for Scripture. We hope our youth will build meaningful relationships and want to create a safe space to share their joys, struggles, and ask questions. We also want to equip our youth to serve those around them, whether in our church or the local community, and to reflect the love of Jesus boldly wherever they may go after Grace Fellowship.
We invite you to join us as we invest in the next generation, shaping them into influential leaders who will make a difference in their families, communities, and beyond.

About Grace Fellowship
Grace Fellowship (https://gracefellowship.faith) is a newly-particularized PCA church of ~100 members/regular attendees and ~30 youth between 6-12th grade. Many in our membership have been attending church together for over ten years, and our congregation is comprised mainly of young families. We are located in Newton, MA.
Our mission is to glorify God by loving Him, loving others, and making disciples. We strive to create an environment where people can experience the transforming power of God's grace and develop a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ. Through Biblically-based preaching, uplifting worship, and intentional community, we seek to encourage spiritual growth, equip individuals for service, and foster a genuine love for God and one another.
We believe that each member of our community brings a unique perspective and contributes to the richness of our church family. Whether you are a college student, single adult, young couple starting a family, parents with children, or empty nesters, we hope that you will find a place to connect, worship, and grow together in your faith. As a new church, we are excited to invite you to join us on our journey of faith, growth, and service.
