Children’s and Kids Minister

St John's Anglican Church
**Location**:Beecroft, NSW
**Date advertised**: 19th April 2024

**Job Type**:Full time
**Closing Date**:31 May 2024

Children are, and always had been, the future of the church.

Research shows that in Australia most adult Christians make a commitment to Christ before they are 18 years old, and others come to faith as adults through relationships established with churches and Christians through their children. This is a potential harvest for God’s kingdom that needs more workers.

Therefore at St John’s Anglican Church at Beecroft, we are seeking a full-time Children’s and Youth Minister to:

- Oversee all aspects of ministry to children and youth (ages 0-18) including outreach ministry;
- Develop a children’s and youth community that is growing in maturity of faith and in number;
- Develop the leaders of the children and youth ministry; and
- Teach SRE at Beecroft Public School and Cheltenham Girls High School.

Are you:

- a mature follower of Jesus Christ with impeccable character and Reformed doctrine;
- passionately committed to taking the gospel to families and their children in the local community;
- a proven leader who is strategic in thinking, tactical in execution and able to align all ministry activities to the vision of the church;
- a self-starter, who is nevertheless able to work in a team;
- experienced in ministering to primary and high school children with evidence of a fruitful ministry of at least 4 years;
- pastorally minded and empathetic to the multiple issues that children and youth and their families face;
- proven in raising up, leading and managing a team of volunteers to deliver children’s and youth ministry;
- experienced in identifying and developing leadership talent amongst young adults;
- skilled in partnering with parents in their role of discipling their children;
- dedicated to personal spiritual growth as God's beloved child;
- in pursuit of improvement for God’s glory - to be invested in and given tailored training, performance reviews and pastoral support?
