Southwest Ministries: Children and Youth Ministry Leader

Opportunities

Three children and youth ministry leaders (couples or individuals) are needed. Opportunities are open to work with local churches, establish after-school clubs, and become involved with Vacation Bible School programs, camps, and other creative ministries among Native American children, youth, and families.

Qualifications

A four-year college degree in Christian ministries is preferred. However, consideration will be given to those with two-year degrees. Some Bible training is essential as the focus of this ministry is sharing the gospel with children.

Length of Service
  • Mid-term: one semester or longer

  • Long-term: two or more years

Ministry Description

Ministry with children and youth is important as we seek to be intentional about walking through life with Native American individuals and families, churches, and communities. These ministry opportunities may take place a traditional church setting, through camps and retreats and ongoing discipling relationships. Sometimes the ministries occur on the reservations, and sometimes they happen in the city. The goal is always to help children and youth learn about and experience the love of Jesus and walk with Him through life. Through strong relational ministry, it is a privilege to walk alongside these young ones as they discover God’s purpose for them and grow into leaders in their homes and communities.

Quick Facts
  • Today there are twenty-two sovereign Native American communities in the state of Arizona.

  • The Navajo Reservation is the largest reservation in the United States with more than 17 million acres of land. 

  • Building trust and strong relationships is key in ministry among Native Americans. Although it can be a long process and slow work, once a relationship is established, you will find yourself working among amazing people, learning and growing together in faith and ministry.
