First Church is one of the most innovative churches I’ve worked with. This is not what you normally see in a small-town church. Just take a look at their social media. The staff love working there; they work hard, and they have a ton of fun together. This team has a clear mission: “Generation After Generation Becoming Fully Devoted Followers of Jesus,” and they are all in to see it fulfilled.
First Church was founded in 1893 by several immigrant families who were seeking to worship God freely in America. Through the decades, God has blessed First Church with love for God and love for each other. Several of First Church’s original founding families still call this church home more than five generations later, truly making First Church a place with a generation after generation legacy! Today, worship attendance of over 2,000 people per weekend at two locations.
Their story is a compelling one—filled with humble beginnings, sacrificial generosity, gospel-centered ministry, transformational leadership, and God-honoring initiatives to reach the lost. First Church remains anchored to their unique identity and calling while stewarding their resources to reach an increasing number of people who call First Church home. As with any church, growth involves both great joy and great challenge. First Church is no exception in this regard. Coupling a desire to remain faithful to God’s Word while stewarding their call to reach and disciple the new people God sends through their doors, First Church has embraced those challenges and changes without compromise and with a renewed sense of passion to go boldly into the future God has prepared for them.
First Church is looking for a godly, gritty, and emotionally intelligent Youth Director to join their student ministry team and effectively disciple the more than 120 students at their Wheatfield location.
