Kingston has a small town culture; however, its population of ~5000 is growing. Located between the Cumberland Plateau and the Smokey Mountains, Kingston has the beauty of the mountains, lakes, and streams, with easy access to Knoxville.
Since we are a small congregation, it is important that our youth minister be able to work with other area youth ministers and plan joint ventures. We also wish for the youth minister to be involved and to involve the youth in missions and community service work.
We have high expectations for our youth minister and our youth program. We recognize the need for training, development, spiritual and personal growth in this position. Our salary and benefits depend on experience and degree but we try to be generous. We cannot offer health insurance. We do require our youth minister be married or engaged.
