Children’s Ministry Director

CCCHURCH
Columbus, OH Full Time
POSTED ON 3/9/2025
AVAILABLE BEFORE 5/8/2025

Position Summary

CCCHURCH is a thriving multi-generational community of Jesus followers in the heart of Columbus, OH. We are seeking a candidate to spearhead spiritual and administrative leadership to our children’s ministry, which provides Sunday Morning classes and quarterly events for infants through 6th grade. Our children’s ministry program has an amazing and dedicated volunteer base of over 50 adults and teens! We desire a candidate that is both passionate about kids and their spiritual formation, as well as someone who is skilled at administration, organization, and developing a vibrant volunteer team.

Position Qualifications

The ideal candidate is committed to a life-giving relationship with Jesus. He or she embraces spiritual rhythms—such as prayer, study, solitude, community, and Sabbath—as a way of communing with God. As such, this person’s life radiates the goodness that comes only from walking with the Holy Spirit. He or she exhibits virtue in interactions with kids, congregants, and staff. Likewise, this person conducts a ministry with humility, honesty, and integrity.

We seek a candidate that is deeply passionate about ministry and children. He or she brings energy to projects, initiatives, and people. This leader thrives on seeing kids grow spiritually and is invested in the lives of families and key leaders. At the same time, he or she understands human limits and, as such, successfully develops teams who can lead others well.

This leader will work together with (and report to) our Family Pastor to ensure quality leadership development and team building in our volunteer base. This position also requires a high level of administration and organization in the areas of classroom management and volunteer recruitment and development. We seek a leader who loves all these aspects of the job.

This candidate is also excited to be part of our staff. Several qualities define us as a team. First, we are collaborative. We all have our distinct roles, but we flourish best when we join efforts in shared ministry initiatives (e.g., outreach events and/or volunteer trainings). The leader upholds commitments, meets deadlines, and communicates clearly, i.e., works well with a team. Second, we are formative. We believe staff must be spiritually healthy. To that end, we take spiritual retreats, days of rest, and practice vulnerability with one another. The right leader will thrive in this sort of intentional environment. Third, we are lighthearted. Ministry can be serious. It’s important that this candidate also has a sense of humor!

The ideal leader embraces the culture and theology of CCCHURCH. Our doctrinal statement is found at www.ccchurch.org/beliefs. It is crucial that the candidate can affirm this statement. In addition, we believe the Holy Spirit is alive, active, and working in our lives today. You see this represented in our worship, which is expressive and Spirit-led. Likewise, we affirm the full range of spiritual gifts. They are relevant for today and duly represented in our church.

We are a church with a rich history. It is important that the candidate is eager to help honor the past, even as we look forward to the future. Finally, relationships are at the heart of our church. Visitors regularly remark how welcoming we are. The right leader is highly relational. He or she loves people and values building intergenerational relationships.

Position Requirements

This position requires that the candidate confess faith in Jesus, be a member of a local church (in good standing) and exhibit a love for and understanding of the Bible. The candidate must agree with the CCCHURCH statement of faith and its vision/mission. In addition, we require that staff participate in a small group and tithe to CCCHURCH. We prefer (not require) that candidates have a bachelor’s degree and several years’ experience in children’s ministry or a similar field with a focus on administration.
