• Partner with parents to support faith development at home
• Coordinate special events such as VBS, holiday programs, and family gatherings
• Communicate regularly and warmly with families and the pastoral team
• Steward classroom supplies, space, and ministry resources well

What We're Looking For

Required:

• A personal, growing relationship with Jesus Christ and alignment with Anchor Church's beliefs and values
• Experience working with children in ministry, education, or childcare
• Strong organizational, leadership, and communication skills
• A genuine love for kids and a heart for families

• Availability on Sunday mornings plus some weekday hours
• Ability to pass a background check

Preferred:

Anchor Church is a growing, life-giving church in Northeast Denver, Colorado, committed to helping people fall in love with Jesus. Since launching in 2021, we have seen God transform lives through salvations, baptisms, discipleship, and authentic community. We are passionate about reaching people who are far from God and equipping believers to become fully devoted followers of Christ.

Our mission is simple: Helping People Fall in Love with Jesus. Everything we do is centered around that mission. From engaging Sunday worship experiences to intentional discipleship, community outreach, and leadership development, we exist to see lives transformed by the gospel.

As a church affiliated with the Christian & Missionary Alliance, we are committed to biblical preaching, the empowering work of the Holy Spirit, global missions, and making disciples who make disciples. We believe the local church should be a place where people encounter God's presence, discover their purpose, and use their gifts to build His Kingdom.

Anchor Church reflects the diversity of the community we serve. We are a multiethnic, multigenerational church where people from every background can find hope, belonging, and purpose. We value authenticity, excellence, generosity, servant leadership, and a culture that prioritizes both spiritual growth and healthy relationships.
