Battlefield FCA and Culpeper Baptist Church Seek Dynamic Individual for Joint Role as FCA Representative and Youth Group Leader

We are excited to offer a unique opportunity for a dedicated individual to join our team in a dual role as an FCA Area Representative for Culpeper and Rappahannock Counties and as a Youth Pastor at Culpeper Baptist Church. This position is designed for someone who has a heart for ministry and sports, and who is passionate about impacting the lives of young people both in and out of the church setting.

First a word of caution. This life changing career will be the toughest and most rewarding career of your life.
