First Baptist Church of Woodbridge

Student Pastor

Woodbridge,
Virginia
First Baptist Church of Woodbridge is looking for a student ministry leader who’s theologically-minded, relational, driven, and passionate about discipleship. This is a healthy church with a strong team and great volunteers, in a fast-paced, diverse, and highly educated community. The right person will build on a solid foundation, bring fresh vision, and lead students and families to take next steps with Jesus. It’s a great fit for someone who loves teamwork, values excellence, and wants to grow something meaningful over time.

Why I Love This Opportunity

There’s a strong foundation and real momentum at FBCW—a church with deep roots, diverse reach, and a clear commitment to making disciples. The staff team is healthy, aligned, and fun to be around. This role is tailor-made for a leader who’s not just great with students but is gifted at building teams and equipping volunteers for long-term ministry. It’s a well-resourced environment, but they’re looking for someone who can take what’s there and multiply it.

About This Organization

First Baptist Church of Woodbridge (FBCW) is a high-capacity, multi-generational church with a strong heartbeat for making disciples who make disciples. Situated in a fast-paced, diverse, and highly educated community just outside D.C., the church mirrors its surroundings—driven, excellent, and committed to growth. Though it’s a large church, it’s known for its warmth, authenticity, and small-church feel.

Under the leadership of Senior Pastor Dr. Josh Wootton, FBCW offers a variety of worship services—traditional, contemporary, and Hispanic—serving a wide range of people across cultural, generational, and theological backgrounds. Biblical teaching, spiritual transformation, and deep relationships are central to the church’s mission, and the team culture reflects those same values: unified, humble, and all-in.
