Coordinate collaborative leadership for conference-wide ministries such as Midwinter events, the Confirmation Rally, summer camps, and other regional gatherings.
Develop young leaders by identifying and equipping emerging leaders, creating pathways for leadership mentoring and vocational discernment, and supporting the Rio Texas Conference Youth Ministry Council as a representative voice and leadership community for young people.
Strengthen faith formation by nurturing lifelong discipleship among youth and young adults through coaching, training, and resource development for local churches and districts.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
A demonstrated Christian faith and commitment to the mission of The United Methodist Church.
Experience leading ministry with children, youth, young adults, or families.
Ability to build authentic relationships across diverse ministry contexts.
Strong organizational, communication, and facilitation skills, with experience developing volunteer leaders.
Willingness to travel throughout the Rio Texas Conference, including evenings and weekends as ministry requires.
