About Multicultural Family Church

Multicultural Family Church is a non-denominational, Bible-teaching church located in Brandon, Florida, a suburb of Tampa. We exist to raise up genuine followers of Jesus who are committed to multiplying disciples. We strive to be a church where ethnic and generational diversity, solid biblical teaching, and strong community and discipleship are visible and measurable.

Our church is multicultural, multigenerational, and committed to reaching people from different backgrounds while keeping Jesus and His Word at the center of everything we do.

Role Summary

The Bilingual Youth Pastor will provide spiritual leadership, pastoral care, vision, and direction for the Middle School, High School, and College/Young Adult ministries of Multicultural Family Church.

We are looking for much more than someone with youth ministry skills or a charismatic personality. We are looking for a man of character.

The ideal candidate will be a loyal, trustworthy, humble, hard-working, and dependable man who demonstrates strong work ethic and personal integrity. He must be someone who can be trusted not only with students and ministry responsibilities, but also with people, resources, information, and the overall mission of the church.

Character is more important to us than skill set, experience, platform, or giftedness. We believe skills can be developed, but integrity, loyalty, humility, teachability, and a strong work ethic must be present in the person we hire.

The Youth Pastor will be expected to lead by example, not simply lead programs. He will invest deeply in students, build genuine relationships with families, disciple and develop volunteers, teach God's Word faithfully, and help create a youth ministry where students are known, loved, challenged, and equipped to follow Jesus.

Because Multicultural Family Church is bilingual and multicultural, the ability to minister effectively in both English and Spanish is an important part of this role.
