MBC Montgomery County - Rock Student Ministry Coordinator

This is a Student Ministry role for the Mclean Bible Church Montgomery County Location (MBC MoCo). Montgomery County is the largest county in Maryland with a population of over one million people. It’s widely known for its ethnic and cultural diversity, economic affluence, high percentage of adults with postgraduate degrees, as well as being a hub for scientific research and US government offices. Montgomery County, along with bordering areas, provides a unique opportunity to reach the nations for Christ in a post-Christian context.

MBC MoCo is a multigenerational church family that includes young adults, families, transient professionals, and long-time residents, representing all kinds of ethnic, social, and cultural backgrounds. Although we’re diverse in age, we remain steadfast in creating ministry environments that strategically evangelize and disciple the emerging generation. The Rock Student Ministries (RSM) is our ministry to 6th-12th grade students that aims to encourage and equip teenagers in Montgomery County to be disciples of Jesus Christ who makes disciples. The teenagers of Montgomery County are immersed in a culture that can be described as secular, post-Christian (indifferent or even antagonistic toward the Christian faith), and morally relative. It’s important that the Rock Student Ministries Coordinator feels called and equipped by God to minister to teenagers living in this type of context.
