Watershed is an urban, justice-minded church community in the heart of the city of Charlotte. We are almost 13 years old as a community 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 community 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.

We are seeking to find someone that is highly skilled in their ability to create and grow leaders and facilitate paths for volunteers as the organization grows.
