Middle School Pastor
purpose:
We aim to see the lives of students (6th-8th grade) changed by Jesus in increasing numbers, including both students from Suncrest and those in our local schools/communities. Ultimately, we want these students to be used by God to change lives themselves. The middle school pastor will provide point leadership for this. It will require a hungry leader who will recruit, develop and lead other leaders and volunteers. We believe partnership with willing parents will maximize impact.
