Director (or) Pastor of Next Gen Ministries Anchor Bay Church
Evangelical Covenant Church, Beverly, MA, United States
See full job description here.
Summary of the Position The Director / Pastor* of Next Gen Ministries provides strategic, pastoral, and organizational leadership for Anchor Bay’s ministry with children, youth, and their families (birth through high school). This role exists to help cultivate environments where young people can encounter God, grow in faith at their own pace, and feel known, valued, and seen – while also equipping parents, caregivers, and volunteers as essential partners in that work.
This is a senior leadership role that requires systems thinking, relational depth, and the ability to hold complexity with clarity. Because the scope of Next Gen ministry is broad and relationally rich, this role is intentionally designed to be volunteer-led and staff-guided. The Director / Pastor of Next Gen Ministries is not expected to personally lead or execute every program or gathering, but rather to build, equip, and support teams of volunteers who share ownership of the ministry. A primary responsibility of this role is developing leaders, strengthening systems, and creating sustainable structures that allow ministry with children, youth, and families to grow and thrive over time.
Success is measured not by doing everything personally (or presenting as an “expert”), but by building healthy teams, clear pathways for growth, opportunities for continued learning, and sustainable ministry structures developed over time.
The Director / Pastor of Next Gen Ministries reports to the Lead Pastor and serves on the Staff Senior Leadership Team.
*This role may be titled Director or Pastor depending on the candidate’s training, credentials, and sense of call.
Interested applicants should send their cover letter and resume to Lead Pastor, Brynn Harrington (brynn@anchorbaychurch.org).
