Youth Pastor (full or part-time)

The Calvary Baptist Church of New Haven (CBCNH) is a predominantly Chinese/Asian-American congregation, affiliated with the American Baptist Churches USA. We are made up of Chinese and English speakers, and altogether we are a loving and vibrant community of worship, where, indeed, our greatest priority is to know Christ and to make him known. Located right next to Yale, many of our parents are faculty members of the university, but we also serve families from neighboring towns with diverse backgrounds.

We are seeking a (part-time or full-time) youth pastor to oversee and to shepherd our spectacular youth (grades 6-12), which in total is about 20-25 students. The youth pastor will work with pastoral staff, as well as other lay-leaders of the English ministry, to promote a life of intergenerational worship and communal flourishing. In terms of the youth ministry itself, the youth pastor will aim to foster loving-community among the students; train robust and committed disciples; cultivate student leaders by recognizing their gifts and talents; and incorporate them into the life of our church by way of service, worship, and fellowship. In light of our context, as noted above, the youth pastor should have some familiarity with, as well as a sensitivity for, the minority/immigrant experience.
