Youth Minister Norton Christian Church Norton, KS, Youth

The Christian Church in Norton, Kansas just celebrated our 150th anniversary! We are a multi-generational congregation who welcomes any and all persons to come enjoy a bible based community of people who want to learn, grow and lead. Our programming is diverse to include a large youth program of all ages including AWANA which draws over 100 elementary youth, junior and senior high youth groups, Sunday school for all ages, many small groups, Celebrate Recovery and other support groups, Pure and Simple for young women, Man Camp, and support of many missions, Lakeview Christian Camp, Men’s and Women’s encounter, and much more.

We are seeking an energetic Youth Minister who has a big heart for our youth and a drive to help them become godly students, adults, parents and community leaders. We see this being accomplished in part through direction of solid Christian programming, bible and research based methodology shared with parents and other leaders, interaction with youth at community events/outside of the church building and development/management of a core volunteer group.

A variety of lessons, events, experiences, camps, etc. are very welcome to keep youth involved, plugged in and, when appropriate, serving and leading others. The church ministry is shared with a lead minister, connections minister, a committed board of elder and deacons, a core support staff and well over 100 volunteers. Please visit our website for more information about us and/or email our Search Committee at  to ask questions by email or request and return call.
