Authentic people. Contagious energy. Enormous potential.
These three statements summarize why candidates should seize the opportunity to become the next High School Pastor at First Alliance Church (FAC). Recent years at FAC have brought significant change and a major momentum shift. The church is growing, baptisms are increasing, and the staff atmosphere is now described as “collaborative,” “family,” and “energetic.” Truly, this feels like the ideal time to join this journey.
First Alliance Church in Lexington, KY, has a rich history, starting with tent meetings led by an Asbury Seminary student. Established in 1956, it joined the Christian and Missionary Alliance and moved locations three times to support its growth. In suburban Lexington, the church welcomes around 1700 attendees each week, including many college students and families spanning multiple generations.
Congregants describe First Alliance as a place where they feel God’s presence, noting its authentic worship and sense of community. The church hosts members from the Silent Generation to Generation Alpha, with many retirees being former pastors or missionaries and several younger members serving as missionaries abroad. Known for its educational and biblical literacy, First Alliance actively serves the community and the church.
First Alliance is seeking a Student Ministry Pastor who will connect relationally with students and build on the church’s strong foundation.
This High School Pastor will oversee and lead the high school programming, communicate well and partner with parents of high school students, and recruit, train, and grow the volunteer base for the High School Ministry.
The High School ministry has a Sunday morning gathering (9:30-10:30 am) and Wednesday night Youth (6:30-8:30 pm).
