Good News is a growing church in Broomfield, Colorado, filled with people of all ages - including teenagers. If you're the right person for this job it's not because you love hanging out with teenagers and playing ridiculous games (although that's all good too), but it's because you're passionate about seeing teens put their faith in Jesus Christ and grow into men and women who know, love, and live for God. If this describes you, then you should read through the job description and apply today.
