Gen Pastor

The Win

Build a thriving, life giving Christ centered kids, student and young adult ministry by developing leaders.

A high-capacity leader who knows how to lead through other leaders. This person is not a doer, but a developer - someone who can equip ministry leaders, strengthen systems, build healthy teams, and create alignment across every Next Gen environment.
