Position Requirements:

Our expectation is that the Youth Director would be gifted by God and competent to teach the Scriptures.

The Youth Director must agree doctrinally with the church’s Statement of Faith as well as have agreement with the pastor and elders both doctrinally and as it pertains to philosophy of ministry.

Ministry Context:
The Baptist Church of Northville is located in Northville, New York. We are about an hour north-west of Albany, in the lower region of the Adirondack Mountains. The landscape is beautiful and has many opportunities for hiking, camping, hunting, fishing, skiing and other outdoor activities. The Village of Northville is small with a population of around 1,100 people, but very quaint and located at the northern part of the Great Sacandaga Lake. Because of the close-knit nature of our community, our junior and senior high youth ministries are well attended but have definite opportunity for growth and further development under more focused leadership. In addition, we have a building equipped with a kitchen, meeting/dining area, along with a gym that serves as our primary youth ministry location. The church itself has been in the village since 1802. Our motto is “We Preach Christ!” from the Apostle Paul’s statement in 1 Corinthians 1:23. We have benefited from the regular, expository preaching of God’s Word, faithful pastoral ministry, and the many committed members that give of their time and gifts for the building up of the body. By God’s grace this church has held fast to the Gospel and we look forward to years of fruitful service for His glory. We are confident and prayerful that our youth ministry has opportunity to grow and flourish under a godly leader and teacher who can devote the effort to it that it deserves.
