TRINITY CHURCH

Next Gen Director

Since 2007, Trinity’s mission has been to make disciples who exalt Jesus

Christ and honor God's word in everything they say and do. Our four-part

strategy invites people to COME to Christ, to GROW in their faith, to

SERVE Him by serving others, and REACH those outside the church with

the good news of Jesus. We are committed to the pursuit of building

multi-ethnic, multi-generational congregations that reflect the communities

around us and pursue unity in Christ. Trinity Church is one church with

seven locations across the globe, averaging around 2,000 each Sunday for

in-person attendance.

Position Description

We are excited to expand our team with a Next Gen Director. This leader will

collaboratively lead and provide vision, direction and oversight to the Kids,

Students, and College-aged ministry leaders for all campuses across Trinity

Church. The Next Gen Director should be someone who has a proven record for

building teams and developing leaders, has experience leading in multi-site

contexts, and is deeply committed to the multiethnic and multicultural

expression of the Kingdom of God. This position’s goal will be to guide these

ministries to make disciples who exalt Jesus Christ and honor God’s word in all

they say and do by empowering our teams to equip parents, kids, and students

through every phase from birth through the age of twenty five.

Who We’re Looking For...

The Next Gen Director will be a high-level leader with the ability to cast vision

and develop teams. This leader should be someone who loves equipping and

releasing others into ministry. They can collaborate effectively with Campus

Pastors who have local authority over their campus and other leaders to develop

and oversee programming that engages and inspires individuals aged birth to

25 towards a deeper relationship with Jesus. This position requires excellent

organizational skills to manage multiple tasks and projects simultaneously as well

as strong leadership qualities to guide and mentor staff and volunteers.

Additionally, the Director will have a deep passion for serving and ministering to

families and young adults, playing an integral role in shaping the vision for

spiritual growth of the next generation as a key member of Trinity Church's

leadership team.

Leadership Roles

Trinity Students (6th - 12th Grade) - Phase 1

The Next Gen Director will first develop and implement...

• Common Purpose - The Next Gen Director will cast vision and lead

change for our student ministry. This person will work to develop and lead

our campus student ministers in their integral roles with students. They will

help clarify the mission and goals for this ministry as Trinity seeks to make

disciples of the next generation. This director will regularly advocate for

the students within our church by reminding leadership to include them in

sermon illustrations, volunteer opportunities, and other relevant ways.

• Common Strategy - The Next Gen Director will oversee and provide

strategic vision for the purpose and rhythm of events in student ministry,

focusing on the balance between spiritual and relational growth in

one-church and campus-specific activities, while creating intentional

onramps to the program. They will help build a thriving model that all our

campus ministries can replicate.

• Common Systems - The Next Gen Director will work with the Campus

Pastors and the Director of Trinity Ministries to align processes and

systems within Student Ministry. Examples are to give leadership to

volunteer recruitment and training, best practices for student follow up,

and a common curriculum.

Trinity Family (Kids & Students) - Phase 2

• The Next Gen Director will work with the Campus Pastors, Trinity Kids

Staff, and Trinity Students Staff to align processes and systems across all

ministries. Examples are to oversee how ministries collect family data,

equip parents and students, train volunteers, and help transition families

from one stage to the next.

• The Next Gen Director will oversee and implement efforts to not only

equip kids and students, but also to equip parents. We believe the

greatest discipling opportunities happen in the home; examples of this

may be to develop a resource list for parents and kids, and equipping

campus classes for various life stage issues (ie, “sharing the Gospel with

your child” or “biblical principles for discipling through puberty” or “how

to be a successful empty-nester”).

Trinity College-Aged Ministry - Phase 3

• The Next Gen Director will oversee the development of a robust

College-aged ministry, focusing on adults aged 18-25 and ensure clear

discipleship transitions from Student Ministry and then into churchwide

Adult Discipleship ministries.

• This ministry is currently volunteer-led and largely consists of life-stage

Community Groups. The goal is to grow it into an intentional next step out

of high school and into mature, biblical adulthood.
