Youth Pastor Candidate
Welcome!
If you are considering applying for our Youth Pastor opportunity at Family in Christ you’re in the right spot, as we have designed this page just for you!
Here is a quick hello from Mike Slofstra, our Senior Pastor.
Get to know us…
DENVER, COLORADO:
Denver, Colorado, is a city of contrasts—where breathtaking mountains meet bustling urban life, and where spiritual searching runs deep. The Mile High City is a place filled with adventure-seekers, free thinkers, and those longing for meaning in a fast-changing world. Spiritually, Denver reflects a growing national trend: while many still hold to Christian faith, an increasing number identify as religiously unaffiliated, embracing alternative spirituality, self-reliance, or outright skepticism. Politically and culturally, Denver leans progressive, championing social justice, environmentalism, and personal freedom. But beneath the progress, a great need remains—lives broken by addiction, loneliness masked by success, and hearts in need of the peace only Christ can provide.
FAMILY IN CHRIST CHURCH:
Family in Christ Community Church, located in Westminster, Colorado, is a welcoming multi-generational congregation centered on the gospel, community, and service. Our mission is "Discovering life with God, together, for the good of the world," and we seek to do this by making and mobilizing followers of Jesus Christ. We emphasize spiritual growth through worship, small groups, and ministries for all ages. We value connection, discipleship, and outreach, encouraging members to build meaningful relationships while deepening their faith. Through programs like PEAK Children’s Ministry, LIFT Students, and gender-specific ministries, Family in Christ fosters a supportive environment where individuals can explore their faith and contribute to the broader community.

LIFT STUDENT MINISTRIES:
LIFT Student Ministries at Family in Christ Church is a dynamic and biblically grounded program designed to disciple middle and high school students in their faith journey. Through retreats dedicated specifically to middle and high schoolers, students experience deep spiritual growth and personal encounters with God. Wednesday night Bible studies, Uplift Nights, and worship sessions provide consistent opportunities to engage with scripture and build a strong foundation in their faith. The ministry emphasizes evangelism, regularly challenging students to share the gospel—both locally and internationally—in a way that allows them to experience diverse communities and strengthens their faith. The passionate leadership team fosters an environment where students feel comfortable discussing their faith, learning how to study the Bible on their own, and developing leadership skills. Balancing fun activities with meaningful spiritual depth, LIFT ensures that every gathering is an opportunity for students to grow, be challenged, and develop a lasting relationship with Christ.
WHY IS THIS POSITION OPEN?
At Family in Christ, we have been richly blessed and have enjoyed a vibrant youth ministry for several decades. We are sad to see our youth pastor accept another call near family, but we are also excited to see what God has in store for us next.
