The Director of Children’s Ministry (DCM) is responsible for overseeing the entire children’s ministry (nursery - 5th grade) to help lead kids to experience Jesus better by intentionally providing a Bible-centered, fun, and safe place to grow in wisdom, stature, favor with God, and favor with people.
The DCM will envision, prepare and implement a cohesive children’s ministry as well as recruit and train leaders who will touch children’s lives with God’s love, teach them God’s Word, provide fellowship with God’s people, and equip them to be on mission in God’s world.
This is a critical role in the life of our growing church and it will require a personable, motivated and organized individual to help to attract young families and most importantly, serve the children of TSF and the surrounding community.
The ideal candidate should be a spiritually mature follower of Jesus who is highly competent, proactive, creative, and flexible in working with people of all ages. This person should also possess strong organization and communication skills, and be able to plan and implement children’s ministry activities.
The expected time commitment for this role is 20 hours per week, which may be higher during special events focused on children’s ministry. Starting hourly pay is $18.
