Background: Christ the Redeemer is a parish of over 6,700 families located in Cypress, TX, a northwest suburb of Houston. Our parish, as part of the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston, is composed of a broad mix of socioeconomic levels. The parish has grown greatly in the past decade; youth ministry has been enthusiastically developed to accommodate growth. We see anywhere from 250-300 middle school students at our weekly youth group meetings called Rise with the help of 30 adults and thirty high school upper classmen. This person will be working as well with our high school program, Encounter, which serves 400-450 high school students weekly with a team of over 50 adults. With such a large program, ministry is not just to the students, but to the Core team as well as the parents and families. We want someone who can work with a team to creatively and energetically grow a youth ministry program, form intentional disciples, and present the faith in a way that is innovative, dynamic, orthodox, and relevant to young people. This program is built on a solid foundation but the youth ministry culture is still being formed, which calls for excellent communication, great sense of humor, good leadership skills, and a team mentality.
Qualifications: Bachelor's degree in Youth Ministry, Theology, Catechetics, or Religious Education. Candidate must be an active Catholic in good standing who is able to use their energy, joy, humor, charisma, and creative problem solving skills to manage multiple projects. A prayerful and Spirit led individual who desires to seek the Lord's will for our parish and this ministry. This position is currently open and reports to Director of Youth Evangelization and Catechesis.
