Children's Ministry Director
-South Park Church

Children’s Ministry Champion (Director)

(Focus: Shepherd-Leader & Team Builder)

Passionate leader who loves seeing children grow in Jesus while equipping an amazing team of volunteers to do the same? We are looking for a relational, vision-driven Children’s Ministry Director (Birth–5th Grade) to shepherd our leaders and volunteers, nurture our families, and create vibrant, safe spaces where kids thrive.

THE MISSION (If one accepts it):

The Director isn't just managing programs; one is building a thriving community of shepherd-leaders and ministry teams. The primary goal is to love, support, and empower our volunteers so they can, in turn, effectively disciple the children.

THE “FUN” RESPONSIBILITIES:
  • Volunteer Cultivator (Shepherd-Leader):Identify, recruit, and coach new leaders, moving them from supporters to shepherd-leaders.
  • Team Cheerleader:Build community-based, high-energy teams through regular "huddles" and personal care (one-on-ones, prayer, and encouragement).
  • Visionary Planner:Partner with leadership to craft a fun, Jesus-centered ministry vision.
  • Event Dynamo:Lead the charge on epic events like VBS and holiday programs.
  • Family Partner:Equip parents to be the primary spiritual leaders at home.
  • Culture Creator:Foster a culture of appreciation and safety (e.g. handwritten notes, public praise, and safety checks).

BE THE NEXT LEADER.

  • Loves Jesus & Kids:hasa growing faith and a huge heart for nurturing children.
  • A People Person:Strong relational intelligence, communication skills, and a "shepherd's heart".
  • A Coach:Experience in developing teams, delegating tasks effectively and leaning into difficult conversations as needed.
  • Experience:3+ years in ministry/education leadership is preferred, but not critical.
  • Education:A degree in Bible, Theology, or Education is great, but a passion for discipleship is essential.

Ready to build a fun, faithful future? Apply Today.
