YOUTH DIRECTOR OPPORTUNITY AT McCONNELSBURG UMC

For those who may not know where McConnellsburg is located, we are in the Altoona District along Route 30 on the border with York District and very close to the Harrisburg District. This is a part time position, but could turn full time. The salary is negotiable. I would greatly appreciate if this could be shared or maybe if there are ministry candidates that you think would do well in this role as they get started, we would love to talk to them. This is a great teaching congregation who has a real passion for children and youth.
