The Student Pastor will be the driving force behind our student ministry, investing in the hundreds of junior high and high school students who call New Hills Church home. You will cast the vision, build the team, and grow a world-class ministry that reaches and engages the next generation from all over North Denver and beyond.

Why We Love This Opportunity

I love this opportunity because the right candidate is going to be surrounded by people who have been very successful in student ministry and they will be able to learn and develop under that leadership. In addition, this is a rapidly growing church where the opportunities to reach unchurched people are incredible.

A great match for this position would be:

  • Systems Builder: Someone who can build and implement systems that bring order and produce growth
  • People Person: Someone who listens to people and cares and leads them with humility and grace
  • Passionate Spirituality: Someone who has a passion for Jesus and displays that in all they do 
  • Communication: Someone who is able to preach, cast vision, communicate with people in a timely and effective way

About This Organization

New Hills Church is a growing, non-denominational church located in North Metro Denver. Originally founded in 1987 as Northern Hills Church, the church faithfully served the community for many years. Following the retirement of its founding pastor, the church experienced a gradual decline over the next decade. In December 2021, Pastor Brian Bigger accepted the role of Lead Pastor, with his first Sunday falling on Christmas Eve. At that time, approximately 200 people were attending weekly. Since then, God has worked in remarkable ways, bringing renewed vision, momentum, and growth to the church.

Today, New Hills Church welcomes more than 1,400 people each Sunday and continues to experience steady growth as people from across the Denver metro area discover life in Christ. Our mission is simple: to lead people to life in Christ.We are passionate about creating engaging weekend experiences where biblical truth is taught clearly, worship is authentic, and every person feels welcomed, valued, and challenged to take a next step in their faith. We believe the local church exists to reach those far from God while equipping believers to become fully devoted followers of Jesus.

The heartbeat of New Hills Church is developing the next generation. We believe children and students are not simply the future of the Church—they are the Church today. As a result, we invest heavily in outstanding kids and student ministries, meaningful small groups, leadership development, and opportunities for people to serve through Team Hills. Our church is marked by a culture of generosity, authentic community, and a willingness to step out in faith to reach more people with the hope of the Gospel. While we celebrate all God has done, we believe our greatest days are still ahead as we continue pursuing our vision of leading more people into a life-changing relationship with Jesus Christ.

Location

Living in North Thornton feels like having the best of both worlds. You get the convenience of being close to Denver, major shopping areas, restaurants, and the airport, while still enjoying the space and pace of a suburban community. The neighborhoods are family-friendly, parks and trails are everywhere, and it’s common to see kids riding bikes, families at playgrounds, and neighbors out walking their dogs. There’s a strong sense of community without feeling crowded, making it a great place to put down roots.

What many people here love most about North Thornton is how easy it is to enjoy the Colorado lifestyle. On a clear day, mountain views are a regular part of the backdrop, and weekend adventures are never far away. Whether it’s hiking, biking, youth sports, grabbing dinner with friends, or taking a quick trip into the city, everything feels within reach. The area continues to grow with new businesses, restaurants, and amenities, but it still maintains the welcoming, relaxed feel that attracts so many families and professionals to the community.
