Youth Director

Traders Point Christian Church defines our culture by these three gospel-centered values: humble, hungry and healthy. We expect and hold staff accountable to live out these values through their behaviors daily. We expect staff to humble themselves before God and others, work hard and unto God to advance His mission. We expect staff to maintain focus on their health: relationally, physically, mentally and spiritually.

We expect staff to be active members of the church who contribute to the church’s mission and vision. We expect staff to serve as spiritual leaders to our church body by being part of a group, serving, attending service and tithing.
