Overview

The NEXTGEN Director exists to ensure that students, youth, and young adults are intentionally discipled, equipped, and invited into bold, confident faith in Jesus Christ. This role focuses on engaging the next generation through Christ & Culture Nights, special events, and targeted discipleship opportunities—intentionally elevating young voices who can speak truth with clarity, conviction, and love.

The NEXTGEN Director helps Faith and Freedom America – Tarrant County remain generationally faithful, not just organizationally effective, by ensuring that younger generations are seen, heard, and spiritually formed in an increasingly confusing and hostile cultural moment.

This is a calling-driven leadership role for someone burdened for the spiritual confidence, resilience, and courage of the next generation.

Purpose of the Role

To disciple, engage, and mobilize the next generation to live boldly for Christ, speak truth in love, and engage culture with wisdom and confidence—ensuring that Faith and Freedom America continues to raise disciples, not spectators.

Core Responsibilities

• Help identify, recruit, and prepare NEXTGEN-focused speakers for Christ & Culture Nights and other major events.

• Ensure that every Christ & Culture Night includes a speaker intentionally focused on youth and young adults.

• Build relationships with students, parents, youth leaders, churches, and schools to encourage NEXTGEN participation.

• Work with the Director of Outreach & Events to shape programming that resonates with younger audiences without compromising biblical truth.

• Assist in identifying testimonies of radical life transformation, redemption, and bold faith that connect authentically with students.

• Collaborate with the Director of Education & Training to help shape age-appropriate biblical worldview and discipleship content.

• Encourage youth and young adults to attend, serve, and eventually lead within Faith and Freedom America.

• Provide feedback to leadership regarding NEXTGEN engagement, attendance, and spiritual impact.

• Pray regularly for students, families, schools, and the spiritual climate facing the next generation.

The NEXTGEN Director should feel a burden for:

• Students navigating identity confusion, cultural pressure, and despair

• Young believers who need confidence to live and speak their faith

• Creating spaces where truth is spoken with love, courage, and credibility

This role is not about trends or entertainment—it is about discipleship, presence, and trust. The NEXTGEN Director helps ensure young people encounter real faith lived out by real people.

• A criminal background check is required prior to serving and must be successfully completed and approved by Faith and Freedom America – Tarrant County.

• The NEXTGEN Director must comply with all child protection policies, supervision guidelines, and safety protocols established by Faith and Freedom America and partnering churches.

• The role will operate with appropriate boundaries, including never being alone with a minor and always serving in coordination with parents, church leadership, and event oversight teams.

• Additional training or acknowledgments may be required as policies are formalized.

These requirements exist as an act of stewardship, wisdom, and love for the next generation.
