Youth Minister – Part-Time

Location: Episcopal Church of the Nativity in Rosedale
Download job description HERE.

Position Summary:

The Episcopal Church of the Nativity in Rosedale is seeking a part-time Youth Minister to start and develop a youth program and help with youth on Sundays in exchange for free living accommodations in a modern, fully equipped and furnished rectory. In addition to leading Sunday School, six hours of work, more or less, per week required.

Nativity rectory is a beautiful Acadian-style cottage, only 12 years old, with 1800-square feet of fully furnished living space with central AC and all modern appliances. It has three bedrooms—two upstairs and one down (currently used as a den) and could accommodate up to a couple with two children. Applicant could keep other full-time or part-time work elsewhere.

Rosedale is an easy twenty to twenty-five minute-drive from Baton Rouge.

Nativity Church was founded and built in 1859. It is nestled under ancient live oaks and surrounded by sugar cane fields, a truly beautiful setting. We are a warm and welcoming congregation, proud to worship in the same sanctuary as many faithful generations before us, but our mission remains the same: to express Christ’s love to all who enter our door, and to allow God to prepare us for His work in the world.

As required by the national and diocesan church, all who work with youth will undergo a background check and will be required to do Safe Church training.

Those interested may contact Deacon Charles deGravelles at Charlie.degravelles@gmail.com or at 225-223-0607.
