Cross Creek Church (PCA) is a congregation of 200 in the growing neighborhood of Fruit Cove and St. Johns just outside of Jacksonville, FL. The Student Ministry is currently on a growth trajectory, and the new Director will step in at an important and high-impact moment. There is a huge potential for the right leader to cultivate a community of students in the heart of St. John's. There are 2 high schools and 4 middle schools within 10 miles of the church (one of them only ½ mile down the street). We are seeking someone who is either a recent college graduate or someone finishing an internship (RUF, CRU, Navs, Campus Outreach, etc.) who is curious about vocational ministry and the pursuit of seminary.
