Introduction
The Director of Women’s Ministry, reporting to the Executive Director of Grace Toronto, is a full‑time role of 30 to 40 hours per week on a 1-year contract. The successful candidate will be a gospel‑centred, missional and prayerful leader.

The ultimate goal is to help them become gospel‑centred, missional, maturing disciples of Christ who glorify God in all their endeavours and enjoy Him forever. This director would have a heart for the city and for women living, working, and serving in a global city context.
Grace Toronto desires to be a multiplying church that raises up future ministry leaders and equips them to advance God’s kingdom locally and globally.
We are passionate about being missional (the proclamation and demonstration of the Gospel), we focus on spiritual multiplication (making multiplying disciples), and we are committed to helping build spiritual movements in Toronto and beyond (partnering with other churches and ministries to maximize the impact of the Church).
We are looking for an entrepreneurial and theologically driven spiritual leader who is eager to exercise their ministry calling in a missional and multiplying global city church context.
Primary Areas of Responsibility- Responsible for crafting an effective strategic vision for women’s discipleship that fits within the 5‑year vision of our church and that is contextual to our city in a gospel‑centred way.
- Implement the vision with the help of the women’s ministry coordinator and by mobilizing and training quality female leaders, disciple‑makers, and lay ministry coordinators for the various activities and events that are planned throughout the year.
- Work collaboratively with other staff members so that the women’s ministry is thriving in a unifying way with other ministries in our church.
- Disciple women so that they grow in their understanding of the gospel and its application to all of life in one‑on‑one contexts and through large group events and activities.
- Connecting, caring and praying for women who are going through difficult life events.
- Organize connectional events for women to build relationships with one another in our church.
