Children's Minister

We are looking for a team leader to join us in our mission to help children LOVE JESUS WELL. Someone who believes that investing in community, relationally and intentionally, is a strategy worth pursuing! We know parents and families are the primary influencers in a child's life and want to equip them to experience the joys of victory in their child's life! To help, our Children's minister can help by pouring into parents and children by building, training, and investing in volunteers who know the value they can add to the equation that supports parents and children!
