Trinity Church

Lead Student Pastor

Scottsdale,
Arizona
The Lead Student Pastor at Trinity Church will build and lead a thriving junior high, high school, and young adult ministry rooted in strong biblical teaching, relational discipleship, and the power and presence of the Holy Spirit. This leader will inherit a healthy foundation, a strong volunteer team, and a church culture that believes deeply in raising up the next generation. As Trinity prepares to move into a significantly larger campus and expand to midweek ministry for the first time, the Lead Student Pastor will help shape what student ministry becomes in the next chapter. If you’re passionate about preaching the Word, developing leaders, and building a Kingdom-focused, Spirit-led culture for students—this role is a rare opportunity.

Why I Love This Opportunity

Trinity is one of the most unique churches in the country. The combination of deep Bible teaching, authentic Spirit-dependence, bold leadership, and a joy-filled family culture creates an environment where a Student Pastor can truly thrive. This isn’t a maintenance role, this is joining a momentum-filled church at the exact moment when the next generation needs a shepherd-leader who can preach, build teams, and help shape the future.

About This Organization

Trinity Church is a fast-growing, Bible-teaching, Spirit-empowered church located in the heart of Scottsdale, Arizona. Founded less than ten years ago by Pastor Mark Driscoll and family, Trinity has become a home for thousands of young families, new believers, and people seeking a healthy, joyful, deeply biblical church community.

With a mission to “open our Bibles to learn, open our lives to love, so that lives and legacies are transformed,” Trinity blends robust Bible preaching with vibrant worship, strong discipleship pathways, and a deeply relational, family-first culture.

The church is entering its biggest season yet, acquiring a facility four times its current size, expanding parking dramatically, preparing for midweek programming, and anticipating explosive growth. Students, young adults, and families are at the epicenter of that growth.

Location

“The Phoenix area has everything I could ever ask for raising a young family. It has awesome parks and great neighborhoods and really unique things like the aquarium and train park while also having very low-key and quiet neighborhoods within comfortable driving distance of the church. It’s only two hours from an escape in the mountains, where there is snow at Christmas and an escape from the heat in summer. And I love living in a big city without it feeling as congested as some other major cities like Chicago. My wife and I truly love it here.”
