1 OPPORTUNITY PROFILE FOR SENIOR HIGH YOUTH PASTOR Updated June 18, 2015 HISTORY 40 years ago West Shore Evangelical Free Church was formed by a small group of people committed to the truth of the gospel and to living the implications of that truth in central Pennsylvania. The church has grown to 2,500 people today but remains committed to impacting Mechanicsburg and its surrounding communities with truth and love. West Shore Free is known for its commitment to families and is significantly and intentionally multi-generational. The church has a history of seeing God move in and through its people, and is currently in a season of growth under the leadership of its new Senior Pastor, Trent Thompson. Trent is a young leader who genuinely loves people, communicates God s truth with passion and clarity, and connects with people of all ages. From the pulpit to venues for training and service, a high value is placed not just on knowing God s Word, but on allowing the gospel to shape lives inside and out. West Shore is passionate about truth because it wants to see God cultivate lives of deep meaning and purpose in people from all walks of life. West Shore Free has a uniquely multi-generational feel. The church is home to young parents, retirees, and people in every stage of life between the two. West Shore has significant strengths in their children s and youth ministries, and a number of families would identify these ministries as a primary reason they belong to the church and invite others to belong. These ministries are partnering with parents to raise kids who love Jesus and people. West Shore is committed to being a safe place for people of faith to admit brokenness and for the skeptical and hurt to investigate Christ and His claims. They are seeing a growing number of people in both of these situations beginning to follow Jesus with courage and authenticity. Less important than these things, but of interest and importance to its mission, are the scope of West Shore s campus located on 92 acres with a 1500 seat worship center, a gym, multiple community spaces, and an outdoor walking path and sports fields. One of the strengths of the church is a highly trusted and strategic staff. Executive Pastor John Nesbitt and Trent lead this team together and give significant attention to cultivating a collaborative, creative, trusting, and fun environment in which to do gospel ministry.

2 CURRENT REALITY Throughout West Shore s growth curve, the church body has made significant investments of finances and adult volunteer leadership in the youth ministry. Under the effective leadership of key paid youth staff over the years, West Shore s youth ministry has flourished resulting in a positive, high-profile position in the life of the church and community that is attractive to students and families throughout the region. Currently, West Shore s youth ministry engages students in grades 7-12 on a weekly basis. For many years, the youth ministry has utilized a small group organizational structure designed to integrate and disciple students in more intimate, family-like groups. These LifeGroups are formed by grade, gender and friendships and are led by teams of 2-3 highly invested volunteers. LifeGroups generally meet together twice per month and stay together throughout grades On Sunday mornings, both junior high (grades 7-8) and senior high (grades 9-12) gather together during the second service for combined worship with a student-led worship band and then they split for age-appropriate teaching. The senior high also meets on Sunday nights, alternating between large group gatherings at the church and LifeGroup gatherings in various locations. The junior high meets on Wednesday nights in a similar format. In addition, the senior high also gathers in a host home on most Thursday nights for a student-led Bible study. Additional annual opportunities for both the junior and senior high include: summer camps, fall school year kick-off event, foodless feast fundraiser, winter retreats, a talent show scholarship fundraiser and more. CHALLENGE & OPPORTUNITY West Shore as a church body is: Seeking the good of the west shore and beyond through deep truth, deep lives and deep love, for the glory of Christ. While building on a strong heritage, the church is also eagerly pursuing a new season of life together under the leadership of a new Senior Pastor in pursuit of the following values: Know God as He is Be, rather than appear to be Sent with the Gospel Sacrifice for one another Engage across generations Sr High Pastor Opportunity Profile 2015 / Page 2
3 West Shore s next Senior High Youth Pastor will have the opportunity to love and lead students, parents and leaders in the expressions of these values while thriving in an environment where their own leadership is valued and cultivated. Although West Shore s youth ministry is wellestablished, the Senior High Youth Pastor will be encouraged to develop and implement fresh ideas and structures where they may be needed. LOCATION & DEMOGRAPHIC Mechanicsburg is in the heart of Central Pennsylvania in the Cumberland Valley. It is 14 miles west of Harrisburg and sits between the cities of Hershey and Gettysburg. It is a family-friendly community with great schools and affordable housing (average home prices in the 200K- 250K range). With four distinct seasons each year, residents enjoy the best of outdoor recreation and local attractions. While the community offers the comforts of a mid-size city, it is only a few hours from the major metropolitan areas of D.C., Philadelphia, Baltimore, and New York. Central Pennsylvania offers the rich heritage of the northeast while sharing the friendliness and authenticity of the mid-west. LEADERSHIP West Shore is a congregationally-governed, elder-ruled, and staff-led church. It is affiliated with The Evangelical Free Church of America ( and embraces the EFCA s Statement of Faith. It is a place where collaboration is valued, creativity is encouraged, and leadership is recognized. The unique combination of a young, highly-skilled, and relational senior pastor, paired with a high-achieving and supportive executive pastor provides an environment where current and future staff can thrive. West Shore is an ideal place for a youth pastor with authentic faith, the right skill set, and a genuine love for people.
