HORIZON CHURCH

Position Title: Student Ministries

Pastor (K-12)

Regent Christian Academy Society serves children and families across our campus schools, online

school, and early learning programs. We focus on strong academics, whole-child

development, and a Christ-centred environment where students grow in character

and purpose. Our teams work hard, care deeply, and move fast to support a

growing and dynamic school community.

As the spiritual heart of this

community, Horizon Church is dedicated to leading people into a growing

relationship with Jesus Christ. We bring the RCAS mission to life through

vibrant worship, life-changing discipleship, and local outreach. Whether

through our weekend services or mid-week ministries, our team is committed to

"caring deeply" for our congregation and "moving fast" to

meet the needs of our city, creating a grace-filled environment where everyone

can discover their God-given purpose.

a full-time pastoral role overseeing student ministries at Regent Christian

Academy on behalf of Horizon Church. Regent Christian Academy is a ministry of

connected expression. You’ll be leading the spiritual formation of students

from Kindergarten through Grade 12, helping them grow in their faith and take

school and at church reinforces each other.
