Associate Family Minister
Our church is seeking a spiritually mature, servant-hearted minister to help shepherd and strengthen our congregation through discipleship, family ministry, volunteer development, and ministry coordination. This role is intentionally flexible. We desire to identify and develop the strengths God brings to our church through the right candidate.
The ideal candidate will cultivate healthy relationships, equip volunteers, disciple young people and families, and assist in the church’s overall pastoral ministry. We are seeking a shepherd, teacher, and team-builder who loves people and desires to help the church grow in spiritual maturity and unity.
Who We Are
At Driftwood, we are a church family centered on Jesus. Our mission is simple but profound: To lead people to a life-changing connection with Jesus Christ.
We strive to be a Biblically-functioning community of believers growing:
- Deeper through worship
- Larger through evangelism
- Stronger through discipleship
- Warmer through fellowship
- Broader through ministry
We value authentic worship, the life-changing truth of Scripture, and compassionate, unified service. We are looking for a leader who is ready to give their best to God and help us build healthy, God-honoring relationships as we pursue a life of full devotion to Christ.
