Job Description

Pastor to Children | Nashville Grace Church of the Nazarene Nashville, TN | Full-Time | Come Lead What Matters Most


This Isn't a Babysitting Gig. It's a Calling.

At Nashville Grace, we believe the children's ministry isn't a stepping stone — it's a cornerstone. We're searching for a rare leader: someone who can walk into a room full of kids and walk out having changed their lives. If you've been looking for a church that will invest in you as much as you invest in the next generation, you've found it.


The Opportunity

This is a full seat at the table. You'll shape the spiritual formation of children from birth through 5th grade with full leadership support, a committed volunteer culture, and a senior pastor who champions children's ministry from the pulpit. You won't be handed a program and told to run it — you'll be handed the keys and trusted to build something that outlasts all of us.


What Sets This Role Apart

  • A church culture that values innovation, not just tradition
  • Direct partnership with senior leadership and a clear path for professional and spiritual growth
  • A congregation that shows up for its kids — and for the people who lead them
  • A city that's growing, which means a mission field that's growing with it


Who We're Looking For

You're not just organized and energetic — you're anointed. You carry a genuine burden for kids to know Jesus, a gift for developing volunteers into leaders, and the wisdom to walk alongside families in every season. You hold a ministry degree or equivalent experience, and you're either ordained in the Church of the Nazarene or eager to pursue it.


Why Nashville Grace

We're not a perfect church — we're a grace church -- a place of belonging. We believe in the holiness of God and the hope of every person who walks through our doors, starting with the smallest ones. If you want a place where your work will echo into eternity, we want to talk.
