Children’s Ministry Champion (Director)
(Focus: Shepherd-Leader & Team Builder)
Are you a 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.
YOUR MISSION (If You Accept It):
You aren't just managing programs; you are building a thriving community of shepherd-leaders and ministry teams. Your 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).
ARE YOU OUR NEXT LEADER?
- You Love Jesus & Kids: You have a growing faith and a huge heart for nurturing children.
- You’re a People Person: Strong relational intelligence, communication skills, and a "shepherd's heart".
- You're 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.
