Job Search

family 02smOur church has struggled through this rough economy. Every full-time programming staff position is being made “part-time” in January. They have been very intentional about communicating that this is not a “performance related” decision. Here’s a letter drafted by the SPRC chairman describing the circumstance: Clarification Letter Anyway, I have until January to find another way to support my family.

In spite of the title of this post, I’m NOT looking for a job, but a position that I can passionately pursue – one in which I can bring Jesus glory and make a difference in the world. This might be another church position, a teaching position, or any number of endless possibilities.

Over the years in youth ministry, I have developed many skills and believe I can be an asset to almost any setting.

I have experience in:

Speaking
Teaching
Writing
Discipleship
Small Groups
Missions
Leading contemporary worship
Multimedia and film Production

I love dreaming, leading, casting vision, and chasing after God’s preferred future.

I have a Bachelor of Science in Biblical Leadership from the College of Biblical Studies. You can get some ideas about my philosophies and ideas about ministry from these articles:

Leadership:
Bottom Leaders
Change
Changing a Culture
Follow the Servant Leader
Lions and Leadership
Little Shovel
Man, Movement, Machine, & Monuments
Wizard of Oz Leadership
Church Thoughts & Ideas:
Harvest
Planting a “Practice”
Social Media and the Church
Welcoming or Welcomed?
Worship by Sweat

I have also written a couple of articles that were published by smallgrouptrader.com. These are the direct links:

I’m not too proud. I ask for your prayers, your advice, and your help. Miranda and I are confident in God’s hand of providence, but we will also need our friends (the body of Christ) to help us through this difficult time. Galatians 6:2 says, “Carry each others burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.”

Proverbs 3:5-6 – “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight.”

  2. Hey Steve, You are one of the most talented youth directors in our conference, somebody will snatch you up, God will make a way! God bless!

  3. Sorry to hear about that Steve. I completely understand what you are going through. The economy here in Florida is not doing well at all-jobs are hard to come by. I am a little surprised I thought Lake Jackson was hanging in there because of the industry there. You are a very talented youth pastor and I know as the person above said that someone will snatch you up.

  4. Steve, sorry to read about your transition. God knows your family’s needs and will answer your prayers. He is faithful.

I will keep my eyes and ears open as there is a very special place just waiting for you and your family to “take them to that next level”. If our family can ever do anything for you guys please know that we are a phone call away.

  13. Steve, you are in our prayers. God definitely has plans for you and Miranda.

    You have the greatest reference anyone could have, Jesus. And, you have numerous ministries that have prospered because of your faith in Jesus.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me raise my 2 kids. They loved youth and I know they were so engaged with God during that time. Hopefully they will continue to love God because God is the only one that will get you through this life journey we are own. I will pray that you find what you are looking for.
