Student Life Teaching Pastor

Overview

Join us in molding future disciples by championing the vision of Mt. Pisgah UMC and leading impactful programs that nurture spiritual growth and create lasting bonds with our youth. Mt. Pisgah United Methodist Church in Johns Creek, Georgia, just north of Atlanta, is a congregation of 2000 members. Mt. Pisgah offers a close-knit community feel, despite its size and offers two worship services on Sundays in English and a third service in Spanish for the Iglesia Mt. Pisgah congregation. Noteworthy for applicants, recently Mt. Pisgah voted to disaffiliate from the United Methodist Church. A new denominational affiliation is still being discerned. The ideal Student Pastor at Mt. Pisgah UMC should be deeply aligned with the church’s vision, mission, and values, showcasing the ability to strategize and implement methods to achieve church goals. This leader should be safety-conscious, committed to continuous learning, and possess strong collaborative skills.
