Kids Coordinator; FRS

The Kids Coordinator runs the administrative and logistical engine of Gateway Kids at one campus. Where the Kids Pastor owns the ministry's plan, this seat makes the plan happen week to week - the check-in, the curriculum and supplies, the room scheduling, the screening, and the Serve Team that delivers it. This role does not carry pastoral duties or require a ministerial license, but it is often the first point of contact for parents.

• Coordinates the week-to-week execution of Gateway Kids at the campus, within the plan the Pastor owns
• Builds and stewards the Serve Team for the ministry: recruiting, scheduling, training, retention, and appreciation
