Children’s Minister

First Baptist Church of Copperas Cove

The Children’s Minister is a part-time position with benefits and is supervised by the Next Gen Minister. Some office hours may be set in consultation with the Pastor and Next Gen Minister, but this Minister will be mainly free to work as needed to fulfill the responsibilities of the position.

FBC Copperas Cove is looking for a man or woman with a strong desire to reach the lost where they are at and to disciple those who are seeking after Christ. We need someone who is driven and eager to reap the harvest (Matthew 9:35-38). We are looking for someone who seeks to create genuine relationships with others and, through those relationships, can spread the Gospel message and equip those within their ministry.

The 3 main focuses of this position will be to recruit, train, and schedule volunteers, build relationships with students and their parents, and ensure that Biblical teaching and modeling take place. If this sounds like you and something you would excel at, we would love to get to know you and see if you would be a good fit in our church family!
