Position: Director of Next Gen. Ministries (FT)

ABOUT FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH SOUTH HILL

First Baptist Church South Hill (FBCSH) is a vibrant, multigenerational church committed to leading people to a growing relationship with Jesus Christ through worship, discipleship, evangelism, service, and community. Rooted in our African American Baptist heritage, we are passionate about reaching people inside and outside the walls of the church and developing fully devoted followers of Christ.

POSITION SUMMARY
First Baptist Church South Hill (FBCSH) is seeking a visionary, Spirit-led Director of Next Gen. to lead a comprehensive ministry that reaches and disciples the next generation—from nursery through high school. This leader will be responsible for shaping a unified discipleship strategy that engages children, equips students, and empowers parents. The Director of Next Gen. will oversee two direct reports—the Children’s Coordinator (Pre-K–5th grade) and the Youth Coordinator (6th–12th grade)—ensuring alignment, excellence, and spiritual growth across all age groups.
In addition to discipleship and team oversight, this pastor will provide vision and direction for curriculum, volunteer development, family engagement, and large-scale events. The Director of Next Gen. will also help parents become primary disciple-makers in the home by equipping them with biblical tools and spiritual support.

QUALIFICATIONS
A growing, vibrant relationship with Jesus Christ and a passion for discipling young people and families.
Proven experience in youth or family ministry leadership in a church or parachurch setting.
Strong teaching, communication, and relational skills with both students and adults.
Ability to manage multiple projects, lead volunteer teams, and innovate with excellence.
Bachelor’s degree in ministry, theology, or a related field required; seminary or graduate degree preferred.

Position: Pastoral Resident (FT)

While seminary or divinity school training provides an excellent foundation of biblical and historical knowledge, students do not always receive training in practical ministry. How does a church budget work? What is it like to lead a funeral? How does one cultivate a healthy spiritual life amidst a busy professional life? Although an emerging pastor will necessarily encounter these facets of ministry in their first call, the congregation may not provide support and growth opportunities for continued learning in a safe or collaborative way.

First Baptist Greenville’s Pastoral Residency Program is designed to address both these concerns. The 24-36 month Pastoral Residency Program provides an intentional, supervised ministry experience for a recent seminary or divinity school graduate in a vibrant, positive, supportive, and collaborative environment.

The Pastoral Resident is a full-time member of the First Baptist Ministerial Staff. The Resident will be immersed in the full experience of pastoral life and practical ministry, including church administration, worship leadership, teaching, pastoral care, community engagement, experience with student ministry, long-term planning and individual spiritual development. At the close of the second residency year, the Resident will be assisted in developing a professional resume, discerning and transitioning into their next pastoral call.
