Central Office in Virginia Beach, VA
We are accepting applications until January 15
Since 2007, Trinity’s mission has been to make disciples who exalt Jesus Christ and honor God's word in everything they say and do. Our four-part strategy invites people to COME to Christ, to GROW in their faith, to SERVE Him by serving others, and REACH those outside Trinity with the good news of Jesus. As our community continues to grow, we remain one church with seven locations across the globe, including three in Virginia Beach, one in Downtown Norfolk, one in Stuttgart, Germany, one in Reston, Virginia, and one in the Middle East.
+ Position Description
The Director of Family Ministry will collaboratively lead and provide vision, direction and oversight to the Kids, Students, and College-aged Ministries for all campuses across Trinity Church. This position will report to the Director of Trinity Ministries and their goal will be to guide these ministries to make disciples who exalt Jesus Christ and honor God’s word in all they say and do by equipping kids, parents, and students through every phase from birth through the age of twenty five.
