SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
Youth Service
The youth pastor will lead and be responsible for the weekly inspiring preaching and engaging programming that will develop CCC youth. Elements for the youth service include an icebreaker, a relevant lesson from the Bible that is designed to teach and invite students to live out what they're learning in a practical way,
and prayer.

After-Service Hangout
We envision the youth pastor planning weekly gatherings after the service to eat together, play games, and have fun together. This time is designed for new students as well as regulars to get to know each other and deepen their relationships with each other in a casual and relaxed context.

Family Events
We envision the Youth and Family Ministries Pastor coordinating regular family events with volunteers and parents. The purpose of these events is for the whole family to spend time together to build relationships with each other. These events would also create opportunities for families to foster relationships with other families including those in the church and in the community. Examples of events: movie nights at the church, game nights, Easter egg hunt, fall carnival, beach days, or joining worship nights with other youth groups. Events can also include service projects such as assembling care packages. These events would ideally be every 1-2 months. The Board of Christian Education will plan and collaborate with the youth pastor for
these events.

Teacher-Communicator
The youth pastor must have highly developed skills to communicate to students in an engaging way, as well as a deep and personal understanding of Scripture that begins with the depth of their own relationship with God. We envision this new leader to have a proven ability to teach and inspire students to live out the truth.

New Foundations
The last several years of CCC youth ministry have been a time of laying a new foundation. With the pandemic and students aging out of youth ministry, we have been building the youth group anew. Along with this, we also recently called a new senior pastor who is leading our church toward new growth. With stability and a solid vision in place, the new youth pastor will come into a healthy context that is poised for
growth.

Team & System Builder
As the Chinese Community Church grows, it is important that the new youth pastor is strategic about ministry structure that is scalable to grow with the church. We envision a youth pastor who desires to be trained with effective tools and methods to maintain safety, meet new youth, partner with parents through the formative years, and equips volunteers. The youth pastor will be supervised by our senior pastor, Rev. MaryAnn Nguyen-Kwok. The youth pastor shall align ministry plans and vision with Pastor MaryAnn’s vision and direction for the church. The youth pastor may also have the opportunity for mentorship from Pastor MaryAnn in any areas of desired growth in ministry, such as preaching, teaching, and leadership.
