Freedom Church

Student Ministry Pastor

Moncks Corner, South Carolina

Why I Love This Opportunity

Ernest Smith

Associate

I love this opportunity because the new youth pastor has a chance to step into a healthy church and healthy ministry and build on a healthy foundation. The current student ministry is running over 250 students and they have dozens of volunteers. So the opportunity to grow an already large student ministry is an incredible job for the right person. In addition, this person will have the chance to preach on Sundays and be developed in a greater leader, as the focus of the leadership of Freedom is heavily invested in developing leaders. For someone who wants to grow as a leader and use their gifts in a significant way, this is a great opportunity.

About This Organization

Freedom Church exists to help people far from God but close to you find freedom in Christ. Sure, there are lots of ways to describe what a church is like, but we figure that it’s pretty important that we tell you up front that Jesus is what we’re all about. So if some would like to know more about Jesus, this is the place for them. Everyone is welcome here… whether they are already following Jesus or they’re just curious. We believe that Freedom Church is a safe and loving place with people ready to help others take their next step.

This is a place where regular people grow in a real relationship with their Savior, with no perfect people allowed. It’s a place to be yourself, know God, build friendships, discover your purpose, and make a difference locally and globally. So, regardless of your story, your questions, your doubts, or your struggles this is a church for people close to you but far from God. We don’t pretend to have all the answers, but we believe in a God who does.
