Director of Children, Youth, and Family Ministries Trinity Episcopal Church God's Unconditional

Overview

Trinity Church in Asbury Park, New Jersey is seeking a part-time Director of Children, Youth, and Family Ministries to become a part of our creative, collaborative staff and clergy team.

Trinity is a vibrant Episcopal parish that strives to share God’s unconditional love with our community and the world. We embrace diversity, and we are known for our progressive outlook in theology, liturgy, and social values. We are a trusted institution in an urban, seaside community that is home to a large LGBTQ+ population, dynamic creative scene, and booming housing and retail/dining sectors.

It is also, unfortunately, a place of deep economic inequality and a history of de facto segregation.

The congregation is thriving, with a growing membership and expanding community programs.

• Provide primary pastoral leadership for the growing Children, Youth, and Family Ministry.
• Support and develop a comprehensive family formation program from baptism through high school youth group to better serve children, youth, and families in the parish and community.
• Build relationships with children, youth, and families in our parish and the wider community; engage families including those with LGBTQ+ children.

• Part-time role with the expectation to be energetic and highly relational, capable of fostering strong connections with families and youth.
• Experience or demonstrated ability in ministry with children, youth, and family programs is preferred (language in description notes growth in these areas and the need for program development).
• Willingness to collaborate with staff and clergy and contribute to a welcoming, inclusive environment in a progressive Episcopal context.
