Could you lead a vibrant ministry of 100+ students into deeper faith?

Why Harvest Chapel?

Harvest Chapel is a growing, multi-generational Assemblies of God congregation in Sandwich, IL (just west of Chicago), with over 1,500 people in Sunday worship. We’re committed to creating a life-giving community where people meet Jesus, connect, grow, serve, and step into God’s calling. Our staff culture is healthy, collaborative, and growth-oriented.

The Opportunity

As our full-time Youth Pastor, you’ll lead ministry for students in grades 6–12. You’ll step into an established, energetic youth community—Wednesday night gatherings (90–120 students), engaging small groups, and a dynamic team of over 30 committed volunteer leaders.

Reporting to the Next Gen Pastor , you'll be a key partner in Harvest Chapel’s discipleship vision—helping students live fully devoted to Christ.

Your Impact

  • Lead weekly gatherings : Oversee Wednesday night worship, Bible-centered teaching and fun events that are relevant and engaging
  • Teach and disciple : Preach God’s Word and facilitate small-group discussions
  • Build teams : Recruit, train, and care for volunteer leaders who passionately invest in students
  • Connect families : Partner with parents and staff to support holistic discipleship across home and ministry
  • Create experiences : Plan retreats, camps, outreach events, and leadership training that shape identity and purpose
  • Foster culture : Cultivate a welcoming environment where students feel known, valued, and empowered

What You Bring

  • Previous youth ministry experience with a track record of ministry growth
  • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent in ministry, theology, or related field
  • Commit to Assemblies of God doctrine and theological alignment
  • Proven ability to lead a student ministry of 50+ and cultivate volunteer engagement
  • Strong relational influence, administrative competence, and a humble, teachable spirit

What You’ll Love

  • Team unity : Join a healthy, collaborative staff where everyone supports each other
  • Next-gen mission : We genuinely believe in and invest in the next generation
  • Leadership development : We care about your personal, spiritual and professional growth and are here to guide and support you in your leadership
  • Creative freedom : Room to innovate, expand, and shape programs
  • Local impact : Small-town/rural setting, but easy access to suburban/urban opportunities (only about 30 minutes to Chicago suburbs)

Ready to Make an Impact?

If you’re excited to guide students into a deeper relationship with Jesus—and lead alongside a thriving team— let’s talk . Apply now and take the next step in your calling! We look forward to exploring how God might use you here at Harvest Chapel!
