If your idea of successful youth ministry is babysitting teens while the adults have real church or you are content just trying to keep your handful of teens saved till Jesus comes back, and your heart doesnt break for the thousands of teens going to hell around you; PLEASE DONT APPLY. If your idea of successful youth ministry is getting together at the next local youth pastor network just to talk about how exciting your last float trip with your 3 homeschoolers was  but you havent stepped onto a high school campus since you graduated from high school; PLEASE DONT APPLY!If you have a MASTERS OF DIVINITY and are a professional youth ministry expert, but have never done real youth ministry, never have prayed with teens to accept Christ, never dealt with angry parents who thought you were too passionate about reaching lost teens, never experienced the heartbreak of burying a teenager whose life was cut tragically short, never volunteered as a youth leader while getting your education,you have no battle scars and no battle stories of being in the youth ministry trenches PLEASE DONT APPLY. (If you have a college degree in youth ministry we wont hold that against you as long as you have some real life youth ministry experience.)If your favorite movies are BRAVEHEART and GLADIATOR and you dream of exploits for God, invading hell like a true warrior to reach massive amounts of teens, and you want to leave more than a butt print in a mauve chair in a dead church that fights over the color of carpet for the next sanctuary remodel, then you might be our next youth pastor!  My name is Erik Lawson and I am the Senior Pastor of element church in Wentzville MO (a suburb of St. Louis). By the grace of God we are one of the fastest growing church plants in St Louis history. In January, we will celebrate our 3-year birthday and are averaging 500-550 people in attendance and in the last 6 weeks have seen more than 100 decisions for Christ!  We run hard, fast and have a blast fulfilling the vision to reach people and make fully devoted followers of Christ! Prior to planting element church, I had been in youth ministry 16 years and had the privilege of helping build oneighty the youth ministry of Church On The Move in Tulsa, OK! We grew to become the largest youth ministry in the nation.  At the time of my departure as the Sr. Youth Pastor to plant element church, we were averaging more than 2,500 teenagers in attendance each week!  Today, we have a great vision to reach massive amount of teenagers we just need that right person to come along side the vision. If your blood is rushing right now at the prospect of the adventure of a lifetime; and you hear it calling you to get in on the ground floor of a church with a future of national influence and a soon-to-be mega-church, you just might be the right fit!  How do I apply? Well if you have a nice, neat, well-polished professional resume sitting in your drawer ready for that perfect opportunity to come along; PLEASE DONT SEND IT IN! The right person probably doesnt even have a resume because they arent a professional church hopping youth pastor! The right person probably doesnt even remember how to resume together because it has been so long since your last one! ALL I NEED is three questions answered.  Why you for this position? What drives you crazy? What must you accomplish before you die?]]></description>      <link><![CDATA[http://christianplacements.churchstaffing.com/Job/15127]]></link>      <pubDate>Wednesday, November 19, 2008</pubDate>    </item>    <item>      <title><![CDATA[Teachers & Schools Staff]]></title>      <description><![CDATA[Sunshine Bible Academy, Miller SD, is currently seeking qualified candidates for the following positions.one English / Spanish Teacherone High School Music Teacherone Dean of Studentsone Girl's Dorm Resident Directorone Boy's Dorm Resident DirectorPlease visit us at www.sunshinebible.org for information about the school.Please forward your resume to school superintendent Larry Mehlhaff at crusaders@sunshinebible.org.]]></description>      <link><![CDATA[http://christianplacements.churchstaffing.com/Job/15122]]></link>      <pubDate>Tuesday, November 18, 2008</pubDate>    </item>    <item>      <title><![CDATA[Worship Leader]]></title>      <description><![CDATA[The Link is a new church plant focused on young adults.
