 Middle School Youth Leader – (Full Time) – Overland Park Campus 

This Is Not Just a Job. It’s a Calling. 

Colonial Presbyterian Church is seeking a passionate and relational Middle School Youth Leader who demonstrates a growing, spiritually mature Christian faith and a Christ-centered character, to help shape the next generation of students at our Overland Park campus. If you believe middle school students are not just “the church of tomorrow” but also the church of today, we’d love to meet you. 

Who We Are 

Colonial Presbyterian Church is a vibrant, multi-campus, multiethnic congregation in the Kansas City area. We are a community of believers who seek to be the Light of Christ in a hurting culture so that the lost are found, the broken are made whole, the fatherless find hope, and our city is blessed. We are a Christ-centered, biblically grounded, mission-driven church within the Evangelical Presbyterian Church (EPC). 

At Colonial, we don’t just run programs. 

We build leaders. 

We develop disciples. 

We invest deeply in families. 

Our Student Ministry DNA 

One of Colonial’s seven core values is Student Strong. We equip students of all ages to lead. We believe that students are capable of deep theological thinking, that middle school years are spiritually decisive, and that relationships matter more than events. 

We are building a culture of Strong Students — grounded in Scripture, bold in faith, resilient in culture, and rooted in Christian community. 

Position Summary

  • Shepherd and disciple middle school students (6th–8th grade)

  • Partner intentionally with parents 
  • Collaborate closely with the broader Family Ministry team 
  • Identify and develop student leaders 
  • Help plan and execute retreats, camps, and key ministry events alongside the Student Ministry team
