Student Minister Boones Creek Christian Church

Boones Creek Christian Church is a church with a rich history, founded in 1825, yet is still vibrant, growing, and alive with ministry today. The church is committed to missions, giving large portions of the General Fund offerings to local, regional, and international missions each year. Within the last 30 months the church has transitioned through a long‑term Senior Minister retirement and has remained healthy, strong, and growing.

In Fall 2025 the church initiated a very successful capital campaign to fund the next stage of growth – remodeling and adding to the current building to allow for a doubling of the congregation over the next several years. The Student Minister position is being filled at this time due to a change in roles for the previous Student Minister following 5+ years of successful ministry to students.

This role is responsible for teaching and building discipling relationships with middle school and high school students so that they may come to know and grow in Jesus Christ.
