High River Alliance Church is seeking an Associate Pastor to develop and support ministries for youth and young adults and to strengthen and develop our music ministries. HRAC seeks for these ministries to be developed in alignment with our vision : “Building a Community of Jesus’ Followers around the Gospel.” As church seasons change, specific areas of ministry may shift to meet changing and emerging needs. This role equips and mobilizes volunteers—it develops and supports volunteer‑led ministries rather than replaces them.

Compensation & Employment

Compensation commensurate with training and experience, aligned with the Western Canadian District (The Alliance Canada) Salary Grid.
Benefits : Enrollment in District benefits program.
Vacation : 3 weeks annually to start, increasing with accumulated years of church‑related employment.
Evening and weekend ministry is expected; schedule flexibility is essential.

Co‑develop, with the Lead Pastor, a compelling vision for HRAC youth (Jr / Sr High) and lead its implementation.

Provide spiritual direction and biblical oversight for youth programming in line with HRAC’s vision and theology.

Recruit, train, and shepherd volunteers for vibrant, safe, and sustainable youth ministries.

Coordinate with children’s ministries in transitioning older children into youth ministry.

Partner with parents to cultivate a Christ‑centred discipleship environment at church and home.

Plan and support gatherings, retreats, service opportunities, and mission / outreach appropriate to age and stage.

Foster whole‑church connections for youth that invite youth participation into a welcoming, discipleship‑focused community.

3) Music Ministry – 20%

Contribute to the development and participation in music ministry alongside the Lead Pastor and volunteer teams (e.g., worship leading, team development, volunteer care, planning).

Administrate the organization and scheduling of music teams and volunteers for weekly worship services.

Ability to lead a music team during a weekly worship service as needed.

Build and sustain the music ministry within the philosophy of congregational worship and parameters set through the Board of Elders, Lead Pastor, and music ministry committee.

4) General Church Life & Administrative Responsibilities – 15%

Participate in regular staff meetings and scheduled check‑ins with the Lead Pastor.

Prepare and submit reports as requested for the Lead Pastor and / or Board of Elders.

The candidate is expected to invest in their personal devotional life and commit to ongoing theological and ministry training relevant to assigned portfolios.

Pursue ordination with the Alliance Canada if not already ordained.

Be an active presence in the full life of the church (events, congregational care, outreach).

Sunday participation as assigned; candidate may be given the opportunity to preach 4 – 6 times per year (approx.).

Engage with District initiatives and related functions as appropriate to core responsibilities.

Qualifications

A mature, growing relationship with Jesus Christ, with evident character development consistent with 1 Timothy 3 & the Fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5).

Demonstrated sense of call to vocational ministry and love for the local church.

Proven ability to take initiative, plan, and execute ministry with strong organizational and administrative skills.

A collaborative team player who is teachable, receptive to encouragement and direction, and able to lead volunteers effectively.

Education : Undergraduate degree in Theology / Christian Ministry (or comparable training / experience). Youth ministry training / experience strongly preferred.

Credentialing : Licensed with—or able to meet the licensing requirements of—the Western Canadian District of The Alliance Canada (ordination pursued as applicable).

Screening : Satisfactory Criminal Record Check with Vulnerable Sector search (prior to start and as required).
