At Pembina Evangelical Free Church, we consider a pastor to be an elder who devotes the majority of his time, effort and resources to the cause of Christ and His Church. A pastor serves alongside his fellow elders and is subject to them even as they are subject to him. Together, they form the leadership body of the local church. At PEFC, we desire that our pastor be the primary preaching and teaching elder, though he may occasionally share the pulpit with other elders, pastors, missionaries, or guest speakers. Along with his fellow elders, he will

● Provide crisis intervention and support, premarital, and some marital counseling.

The primary purpose of the Student Ministry Pastor is to help cultivate a relational disciple-multiplying culture around Salem’s Mission and Vision by providing a meaningful, gospel-centered, biblically driven environment where youth [7 th -12 th grade] and leaders are equipped to passionately follow Jesus and live out the gospel.

Currently, the middle and high school students are combined, meeting once a week, with events throughout the year. At the heart of the ministry are the small groups.

While not required, leaders are encouraged to start in 7 th grade and rise all the way through 12 th grade to promote healthy, deep, and lasting disciplemaking relationships. Serving and missions have also been a strong emphasis as a church, creating ample opportunities for youth to work alongside other ministries to strengthen our local, national, and global partnerships. Across the board, this is a fun, diverse group of students who are eager to meet their next pastor!
