Job Overview

The Greater Eastside of Seattle is one of the most beautiful regions in the country, surrounded by mountains, lakes, and endless opportunities for adventure. At the same time, it is one of the most unchurched and irreligious areas in the nation. This creates a unique and powerful opportunity: to share the good news of Jesus with young people who may be hearing it for the very first time.

What makes this even more special is the community you'll join at Crossroads Bible Church. Our people are warm, welcoming, and kind — a church family that truly embodies the love of Christ. From the moment you arrive, you'll be met with genuine hospitality, encouragement, and care. Crossroads is a place where relationships run deep, where you will not only serve but also belong.

If you are passionate about reaching students and eager to join a church family that will support and walk alongside you, we would love to meet you.
