Family​/Youth Director First Christian Church Iola, KS, Family Minister

We are a close-knit and loving congregation of about 100 people with many of us being over 50 years old.

We are looking for a Family/Youth Pastor with a real pioneering spirit – someone ready to build from the ground up. Someone who isn’t afraid of a difficult challenge, a self-starter, requires minimal supervision, committed to the long-haul and able to think outside the box. Most importantly; a real servant’s heart and a spiritual obsession to reach lost sheep and share the love of Jesus with all.

This role offers true creative freedom, heart‑felt support, and the chance to make an eternal difference – not step into a pre-existing mold, but actually create one!
