Director of Student Ministries Resume Example
Jesus calls us to love all people! Proverbs 22:6 says "Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it." When we come together as a church, staff, organization, and team; with grace and faith as our cornerstone and the gospel as our guide, young peoples lives will be changed forever.
