Student Minister 

First Baptist Waxahachie

The Role: Energy & Implementation

The Student Minister (SM) is a high-capacity, high-energy leader responsible for the tactical execution of the student ministry strategy. Reporting to the NextGen Director, the SM focuses on "boots-on-the-ground" ministry, building relationships with students, mobilizing volunteers, and executing events, rather than high-level executive governance.

  • Parent Partnership: Implementing strategies to equip parents to lead their students toward Christ at home.
  • Content & Outreach: Partnering with the Communications Director to produce scripts, lessons, and digital promotions that resonate with students.

Professional Requirements

  • Education: Bachelor’s Degree required; Seminary strongly encouraged.
  • Experience: Ideally 2–7 years of experience in student ministry.
  • Alignment: A firm grasp of FBC Waxahachie’s beliefs, values, and mission (A Texas Baptist Church, 1963 BF&M)

Standard Benefit Package Includes:

  • Medical & Dental: Full coverage for the employee.
  • Retirement: 403b with a 5% match after one year (increasing with tenure).
  • Insurance: Term Life, AD&D, and Supplemental AD&D.
