The Youth Pastor at Impact Church leads our Impact YTH ministry with passion, purpose, and a clear heart to reach and disciple the next generation. This person is a relational pastor, a dynamic communicator, and a strategic leader who can inspire students (grades 6–12) to follow Jesus fully. The Youth Pastor builds teams, invests in students and families, and creates environments where young people experience life‑giving community, biblical truth, and a sense of mission.
