Middle School Female Co-Director

Wheaton Bible Church (WBC) is a dynamic, thriving multiethnic church community located in the Chicago suburbs. We serve our local community through West Chicago’s largest social service provider, Puente de Pueblo, offering case management and after-school programming.

The Middle School Life Director (Female) serves as a co‑director for students in grades six through eight. She partners with the Middle School Life Director (Male) to provide vision, direction, and leadership for Middle School Ministry.

She oversees the Sunday Morning Bible literacy program, cultivating environments where students learn Scripture deeply, engage in discussion‑based teaching, and develop foundational biblical understanding. She leads curriculum development for the Sunday Morning program in close collaboration with the Middle School Life Director (Male) and contributes to curriculum planning for the Midweek environment. She prioritizes prayer, the study of the Word, and effective teaching suited to middle school development.

She recruits, trains, and cares for volunteer leaders—especially female leaders—eques equ. She equips Life Group Leaders and Sunday Morning leaders to foster discipleship, community, and biblical literacy. She develops pathways for identifying and mentoring student leaders, particularly young women growing in spiritual leadership.

She engages students relationally throughout the week across both Sunday and Midweek environments, providing pastoral care, spiritual encouragement, and relational presence that models Christlike character.

She partners with parents in discipleship, focusing on equipping mothers in their spiritual influence at home, maintaining communication with families, and supporting parents through resources, prayer, and relational availability.

She contributes to the broader Student and Family Ministry through collaboration in planning, events, and multi‑environment strategy, participating in team meetings and cross‑ministry initiatives.

She functions as a member of the church’s shepherding staff by attending development meetings, staff prayer, and participating in baptism affirmations. She serves in churchwide projects or ministry initiatives such as Christmas and Easter services, Care Fest, and Missions Fest, maintaining a high degree of confidentiality and assisting with general duties as opportunities arise.

She must model holiness, prayerfulness, and a growing walk with God. She should pursue ongoing development and demonstrate enthusiasm for the church and its mission. She must show commitment to biblical disciple making.
