- A leader of leaders who can recruit, train, and multiply volunteers
- An organized self-starter who can turn vision into action
- Passionate about reaching the next generation with the gospel
Previous church staff experience and experience leading children’s or student ministry is preferred.
Experience revitalizing or rebuilding ministries is a significant plus.
What You'll Do
- Develop and lead a comprehensive NextGen strategy from birth through 12th grade
- Build engaging and gospel-centered environments for kids and students
- Recruit, train, and develop volunteers
- Launch and grow a weekly student ministry
- Partner with parents as the primary disciplers of their children
- Create systems for communication, safety, follow-up, and volunteer development
- Help integrate new families into the life of the church
- Work alongside the Lead Pastor and staff to advance the overall mission of Crievewood

Within the first 12 - 18 months, we hope to see:
- A growing and engaging kids ministry
- A healthy volunteer culture
- A thriving weekly student ministry
- New families connecting with the church
- Clear discipleship pathways for children, students, and parents
- A culture where the next generation is valued, invested in, and equipped to follow Jesus
