Job Description:

Watershed is an urban, justice-minded church_noemailmunity in the heart of the city of Charlotte. We are almost 13 years old as a_noemailmunity and are looking for a Youth Pastor and Volunteer Cultivator to join our staff.

The main focus of this position is on our student expression at Watershed. Right now it is small and intimate, and we are searching for someone who understands how to create a culture that fuels the spiritual life of a student, includes them in the greater_noemailmunity of Watershed, and begins to help them see themselves as leaders and difference-makers in parts of their city and world where brokenness and suffering seemingly prevail.
