Part Time or Full Time Children's Pastor and Director

At Life Community, we’re looking for a dreamer. We’d rather pull your reigns than drag you along. Although we’ve been a church for over 40 years, with the same senior pastor for those same years, we’re growing. We continue to see new families come.

And we want to impact our community. We’re looking for someone to step alongside and pour into the vision of Life Community Church.

Our vision at Life Community is that we exist to tell our world about Life in Jesus, to Connect people to His calling and to be His Community.

This position is flexible. So we're looking for someone flexible. It could be part time, it could be full time. Full time would be more varied and have another area of focus added to this job description/workload. Great at social media? That would be great. Maybe graphics? Great too! Play an instrument? Awesome. If you have additional skills, it would be a great plus. Maybe all, maybe only one. The position would change with each person that applied.
