Job Summary

We believe following Jesus isn't just a personal journey—it's a multiplying movement. Our mission is to ignite that movement by inspiring people to follow Jesus and equipping them to help others do the same. Through intentional relationships and our discipleship pathway—Gather, Grow, Go—we're building a culture where people are growing to Be with Jesus, Be like Jesus, and Be on mission with Jesus. You're not just building a youth ministry; you're shaping a generation

The Youth Pastor will play a vital role in this mission by shaping a generation of students who know Jesus intimately, live boldly for Him, and multiply their faith through authentic relationships. That's the heartbeat of our mission—and the invitation for the next Youth Pastor. This isn't a job; it's a calling to invest in the future of the Church.

Community Profile

Sienna Community Church is located in the heart of Fort Bend County's largest and most renowned neighborhood — Sienna Plantation. Ranked among the top 30 best-selling master-planned communities nationwide, Sienna covers 10,800 acres and is home to nearly 40,000 residents.

While our ministry reaches beyond Sienna's borders, the community itself provides an excellent setting for relational ministry. In Sienna, there are four elementary schools, two middle schools, and one high school, each offering opportunities to connect with students and their families.

The amenities here are unmatched: a golf course, tennis and pickleball courts, soccer and baseball fields, scenic walking trails, many parks, an outdoor amphitheater, and three resort-style pools. This is a place where recreation, family life, and community come together daily, creating an environment full of potential for vibrant youth ministry.

Church Profile

We show up in our community as a neighbor. We're relatable, warm, and welcoming—someone you feel like you could hang out with. You can crack a joke with us, but not at someone else's expense. We're not going to shy away from the truth, but we're not going to beat people over the head with it. But we're bold in our love for our neighbors and the world, like the Good Samaritan. We express a willingness to show up, do the hard thing, and reach beyond our comfort zone to help people, even if it costs us.

Sienna Community Church is seeking a relational, driven, and visionary Student Pastor in one of the most vibrant and fast-growing communities in America. You'll thrive here if you're a motivated team builder who comes alive in a Biblically grounded, highly relational environment. You will join people who rally around a shared mission and love doing life together.

Two years ago, Sienna Community welcomed a new lead pastor with a clear and compelling vision: to be an authentic community of faith that inspires people to follow Jesus and equips them to invest in others. The church is growing and sits on 7 acres of land, with space ready for development. Over the past two years, our church has undergone a building renovation, improved infrastructure, and a name change, and recently completed a rebranding process to clarify our mission. Currently, SCC has a thriving kids' ministry that reaches over 50 children each week.

You'll join a staff that genuinely enjoys each other's company, celebrates wins together, and cheers one another on. You'll also have the steady encouragement and strategic coaching of a lead pastor with over a decade of successful youth ministry experience — someone who knows what it takes to grow and sustain a thriving student ministry.

Sienna Community Church has historically been home to a thriving youth ministry. Currently, the youth ministry is in a rebuilding stage, with around 10 middle schoolers attending our weekly gatherings. Over the next few years, approximately 20 children will transition from our children's ministry to our youth ministry.

Four Key Factors That Make This Role Uniquely Exciting

Youth Ministry Relaunch — Build from the Ground Up

This is your chance to dream big. You're not tweaking an existing structure — you're relaunching with a clean slate. You'll have the freedom to establish a fresh vision, create environments that connect deeply with students, and develop a volunteer team that's equipped, empowered, and passionate.

Long-Term Sustainability — Lead for the Future

We're committed to more than just quick wins. You'll build systems, discipleship pathways, and leadership pipelines that will serve students and families for years to come. Our church is invested in providing the resources, staffing, and support you need to make a lasting impact.

Reach More Students — Grow the Kingdom

Sienna is a rare ministry field: seven schools within the community, thousands of students, and a culture that values connection and activity. You'll have open doors for outreach, partnership with schools, and relational ministry that touches students both inside and outside the church walls.

Professional Opportunity to Move Up — Develop as a Leader

Your growth is just as significant as the growth of the students you lead. You'll gain experience in leadership development, strategic planning, and disciple making — preparing you for expanded influence and future opportunities here at SCC.

Why This Matters

Sienna isn't just a community where people live — it's a place where lives intersect daily, where faith conversations can happen at the soccer field, the coffee shop, or the school hallway. You'll be stepping into a context where ministry is relational, visible, and deeply needed.
