Zion Lutheran in Buffalo, MN is looking for a full-time Director of Youth and Family Ministries with compensation based on synod guidelines and including administrative support. See below for the type of person we are looking for. 

Zion Lutheran Church is looking for an energetic leader to help challenge, engage, and relate to our youth and peers as they grow in faith. It takes a village to raise a child, and so we prefer someone with a history of recruiting, training and equipping adults in good Lutheran theology for hands on involvement with youth (both MS and HS).  We are looking for someone who understands child development and mental health, with an aptitude for meeting the youth where they are—whether at church or outside the church, on social media or in the community.  Our congregation wants to support and mentor our youth and so it will be helpful if applicants have good communication skills and an aptitude for mentoring healthy relationships between youth and supportive adults.
