Student Pastor

Student Pastor – Campus

The Student Pastor – Campus supports the vision and mission of CBC Students by providing pastoral leadership, discipleship, and oversight of the student ministry at their assigned campus. This role exists to help students grow in their relationship with God and His people and become the good news of Jesus in every place.
