Children’s Ministry Director

The children’s ministry of Meadowview Baptist Church exists to proclaim Christ, teach the whole counsel of God’s Word, and support parents in making disciples of their children. We believe children’s ministry should be shaped by Scripture and centered on the gospel rather than driven by entertainment, activity, or an abundance of programs. Our goal is not merely to keep children occupied but to help them know the truth of God’s Word, understand their need for Christ, and grow into mature, faithful members of the local church.

While age-appropriate teaching has an important place, we desire to integrate children into the worship, fellowship, service, and ordinary life of our multigenerational congregation. We believe children need more than special events; they need the steady influence of parents, pastors, teachers, older believers, and the entire church family. Therefore, we will prioritize Christ-centered discipleship, biblical teaching, meaningful relationships, and participation in the gathered church so that, by God’s grace, our children may come to repentance and faith in Christ and learn to follow Him for a lifetime.

The Children’s Ministry Coordinator provides leadership and oversight for Meadowview Baptist Church’s ministry to children from birth through fifth grade. This person will develop a Christ-centered ministry that teaches God’s Word, partners with parents, equips volunteers, and provides a safe and welcoming environment for children and families. The coordinator serves under the direction of the Executive Pastor and designated elder leadership, working closely with church staff, ministry leaders, parents, and volunteers.
