This is an ideal job for retired school teachers, parents of school age kids, those looking for job experience or someone seeking extra income.
The Children and Family Ministries Assistant(ADCFM) will serve as an assistant leader for the children’s and family ministries program at St. Paul’s Church – participating in the overall staff team emphasis of discipleship and disciple-making. The successful candidate will exhibit a passion for the next generation. St. Paul’s has a history of dynamic focus on kids. This person is highly relational with the ability to also think administratively. They will design a ministry model that advances the vision of St. Paul’s – especially our desire to “create such a compelling environment that children and youth can’t wait to bring friends.” This part-time position will have the primary responsibility for overseeing the pre-elementary ministries of children birth through age 5.
