Why I Love This Opportunity

Brian Aaby

Senior Associate

This full-time position is responsible for the leadership, vision, and execution of the Youth Ministry at Fenton. This pastoral position is responsible for recruiting, training, encouraging, and leading the volunteers in the youth ministry. So what does that mean? The best person for this job thinks through both a pastoral and a leadership grid. The Youth Ministry Pastor will have a dogged commitment to the spiritual health of both the youth ministry, the Fenton campus, and The Crossing as a whole. The Youth Ministry Pastor must possess strong interpersonal and communication skills with the ability to lead both adults and students in ministry.

About This Organization

The Crossing began with a handful of folks in a living room with a common vision; to create a church where people’s lives are radically changed through Jesus Christ in radical ways. A place where they could bravely ask even the most basic questions about God without feeling out of place. While the number of people has grown beyond the limits of a living room, the vision has never strayed—It’s only gotten more interesting. The Crossing has become more than just a “place”. It’s a community that’s fresh, real, raw, alive, and committed to telling an ancient story to break through even the most hardened of hearts.

By using unconventional teaching methods and various art mediums and technology, The Crossing creates experiences rooted in scripture that are both culturally relevant and deeply personal. Focusing less on a “demographic” and more on a state of mind, the palette at The Crossing spans every age, religious background (or none at all), and ethnic group. They are constantly mining new ways that encourage people to explore, experience, and express who God is and how His teaching can foster real change in people’s lives. The Crossing continues to see growth and expansion with three additional campuses.
