STUDENT MINISTRIES DIRECTOR

12 September 2008
Brothers and sisters,
The search for a Student Ministries Director is on! The search committee met Thursday 11 September to review the new position description provided by the Elders and has begun to solicit resumes from various sources. You may view the position description at http://www.barcroft.org/jobs. This new position will eventually become part of the Family Ministries envisioned for Barcroft in the coming years. We look forward to meeting God’s provision for this position in the not too distant future.
The community in which we serve and worship is largely middle-class, multi-lingual, highly educated, and technically sophisticated and characterized by relationships stressed to the breaking point in a society seemingly bent on separating families and groups by age and culture. Many nations and cultures already attend our church, meet in the facility, or are our neighbors. The most internationally diverse university in our country is within minutes of our church campus. God would have us Proclaim Jesus to the Nations by working against the societal trends that separate us and would have us strengthen relationships in the family, the church body and by extension our community as we build godly families that will serve Him by reaching across generations and culture.
The task appears daunting and overwhelming, nevertheless, we believe God has brought us together in this church for this purpose and He will do through us what we would otherwise be unable to do. He places us in this strategic position and gives to us the people and resources to accomplish His plans. We must grasp this vision and move ahead for His glory. We trust He will provide just the man to help move the Student Ministries of this church forward to become what He envisions for us.
Thank you for your prayers.
In Christ,
The Student Ministries Director search committee
