The job of the Associate Youth Minister is to provide spiritual leadership for Ten Mile Christian’s Youth Ministries, recognizing that it is not just students who will grow and benefit from such leadership, but also the adults who serve within this ministry and the parents/families who share in the development of our students.

When we reach a student with the saving knowledge of Christ, we rejoice with that one student, potentially reach a family, and perhaps help shape a community for God’s glory.
