YOUTH MINISTRY

Youth Minister, Dakota Thornton: dthornton@mandarincc.com

The church is here to help parents, not replace them. Your teens are going to love it at Mandarin Church of Christ, and Mandarin is going to love your teens!

We have fun: we learn about Jesus and what He did for us and we get to know each other!

The youth of the Mandarin family work together to build frameworks for a growing relationship with Jesus. We accomplish this goal by following our ABC's:

Adore: We are fully focused on loving God as a group and as individuals.

Belong: We want everyone to feel safe and valued here.

Care: We live out our faith through humble service to everyone.

Disciple: We invest in each other as we grow into the image of Christ.

Evangelize: We are not ashamed to share our hope in Jesus with those around us.

Activities

Roots, Service Projects, Uplift @ University, Florida Bible Camp, SonQuest, Winterfest, Retreats, Holiday Parties, Pancakes and Waffles, and much more!

We are seeking to hire a Full Time Youth Minister

The Mandarin Church of Christ in Jacksonville, Florida, is searching for the next steward of its’ youth ministry. The ideal candidate will be a man who possesses at least a Bachelor’s Degree in Bible, Youth Ministry, or related field.  A balanced command of Scripture and how to make it come alive to the next generation is critical.  He must be able to work with students of diversity in age, race, income level, socio-economic status, and spiritual heritage.  He must be a self-starter, a team player and team builder, willingly accountable, relatable, and organized. Building bridges between our students and the adult generations in our church family is essential. While worship leading is not a requirement, worship leading skills would be highly valued. Above all, he must be passionately in love with Jesus and have a burning desire to guide people into a growing relationship with Jesus.

The Mandarin Church of Christ is a loving, growing, close knit family of approximately 250 members.  We are led by four shepherds, and our staff includes a pulpit minister who has served here for eight years, a connections minister who has been our youth minister for seven years, two part-time children’s ministry directors who have served for four years, and an office manager who has served for over a decade.

Compensation package is negotiable, depending on experience and skill set.  Inquiries may be directed to ymsearch@mandarincc.com
