Kid's Ministry Director

Job Description :

This full-time salary role requires in-office days with the flexibility of working remotely. The salary range is based on experience working with children in other ministries or equivalent positions.

We encourage you to visit the church website and social media to understand who we are. We are a young church plant that is growing rapidly, and specifically growing in our children's ministry.

In the last months, we have grown from about kids weekly to about kids. We have an incredible volunteer team that has been loving and serving faithfully for months with some rock-star leaders.

With the pieces we have in place currently, we are diligently seeking God's provision for a full-time director that can take our kid's ministry to the next level.

The current staff consists of the lead pastor, a student pastor, a worship director, and a connection director. We are a close community and are looking for God to provide someone who will serve with us as God continues to grow His church.

As younger staff, we depend upon the Holy Spirit to lead us in all we do as we intentionally stay humble, knowing that God resists the proud.

We are serious about the jobs we have, but we never take ourselves seriously. We enjoy life, each other, and working faithfully for Jesus as He builds His church.
