Do you love helping young people navigate life and become great leaders?

We are looking for someone to join our team as our Youth Pastor!

A Role with Real Purpose

It’s one thing to have a job; it’s another to know your work is making a lasting difference. As a Youth Pastor, you can have the opportunity to invest in the lives of teenagers as they navigate some of life’s most formative years. The opportunity to facilitate fun spaces where they feel safe, connected, valued and empowered, while helping them discover who they are, grow in their faith and understand the purpose God has for their lives. This is more than running programmes—it’s the opportunity to walk alongside a generation, help them encounter Jesus, and equip them to become confident, courageous people who make a difference.

This is a role where your work provides real purpose and will have an impact not just today, tomorrow, next year but for the rest a young person’s life, even into the next generation and onto eternity. If you’re passionate about seeing teenagers connect with God and have a strong desire to see them thrive this could be your dream role.

An Incredibly Empowering Environment

At LifeSwitch our heart is for the Next Generation. This isn’t a token statement we make, but a conviction that runs through how we budget, prioritise and plan. Next Gen ministry isn’t something that happens off to the side but a core part of our church. We know we are biased, but we don’t think there is a better place someone could be involved in youth ministry. From the facilities we have at Silverstream Retreat, we even have our own go-kart track, to the annual camps we run, and the connections we have already established with local schools, the opportunity is right there for someone who wants to lead a world class youth ministry.
A new state of the art youth facility is also currently being built and will be ready at the end of this year - full of possibility and ready for a new Youth Pastor to take things to the next level.

Why the Vacancy?

Our current Youth Pastor of seven years, Jono Chaplow, is stepping out of the role to pursue an opportunity in the public sector.

So an opportunity has opened for someone to join our awesome team!
