Children’s Ministry Champion (Director)
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):

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).
- Loves Jesus & Kids: has a 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.
