Youth Pastor - Eastpark Church

Planted in 1997 in Vancouver, WA, Eastpark Church is a contemporary, evangelical church whose mission is to see people transformed by Jesus as we proclaim the gospel with our words and our lives. We’re ordinary people who have fallen in love with Jesus and want our friends and neighbors to know Him too. We’re in a season of growth—our current Youth Pastor has just become our Associate Pastor—and we’re looking for a new Youth Pastor who loves and lives with Jesus and is called to join us in fulfilling our mission.
