Meet Starpoint Church

Welcome to Starpoint Church! No matter who you are or where you’ve been, you are welcome here. Our mission has always been about people joining together to share & show the love of Jesus with everyone they know.

We may not appear like a stereotypical church, but we think a church is about the people inside—not about the building—so it shouldn’t matter if we look like a former warehouse or a city school. And while you might not find steeples or stained glass around here, there’s no shortage of really authentic people—and free coffee.

About the Student Director

We are looking for a Student Director to take our Middle School (6th-8th) and High School (9th-12th) ministries to the next level. We have a great team of Student Ministry Volunteers who are excited and ready to move into this new season of our church.

We recently moved into a brand-new building with great new student space that allows us huge new opportunities to see students come to know Jesus and to grow in their walk with Him.

You would be leading a youth group of over 120 students and ministering in an extremely unchurched and post-Christian area. This student ministry could easily double with a great leader.

If your heart and experience are in Student Ministries and for the unchurched, we would love to talk to you about this critical position in the life of our church as we look to pour into the next generation.

The Student Director’s responsibilities include:

• Being the primary student communicator each weekend
• Championing all things student ministry
• Creating a weekly high-energy service for Middle Schoolers & High Schoolers
• Recruiting, scheduling, & equipping all volunteers
• Providing pastoral care and spiritual guidance to student ministry volunteers
• Engaging with students outside of weekends
• Ensuring winter & summer camps are life-changing milestones for students
• Leading a biyearly student mission trip
• Ownership of all assimilation and follow-up systems for students
• Leading our students in quarterly community service projects
• Weekly parent communications
