Children's and Music Minister

What We Are Looking For

Junction’s First Baptist Church is looking for a man or woman with a strong desire to reach the lost where they are at and to disciple those who are seeking after Christ. We are a small church in a small town that has recently been able to reach many young families and their children. We need someone who is driven and eager to reap the harvest (Matthew 9:35-38). Ideally, this person will have a vision for furthering our children’s and music ministry, working with our volunteers to meet the spiritual needs of those who come to our programs. We are seeking someone who seeks to create genuine relationships with others and, through those relationships, can spread the Gospel message. This person will provide leadership and direction for both the children’s and worship ministry. If this sounds like you, we would love to get to know you and see if you would be a good fit in our church family!
