Your Context. 

First Christian Church is an imperfect group of people who have plenty of differences—and we love it that way. We're seekers and followers who have all come to the same realization: God is for everyone, so we are too. Together we seek to follow Jesus and tell the whole world about His love for them.  

We say we’re for everyone, and we mean it.  

That can take many different shapes across our ministries, but FCC Kids is committed to sending the next generation out into their world as missionaries who love God, love everyone, make disciples, and share their stories. 

Your Role.  

Your primary focus will be building, equipping and communicating with FCC Kids Sunday School and Wednesday Early Education teams. Sunday School will involve both Early Childhood (birth- Kindergarten) and Elementary (1st – 5th Grade) classes. Wednesday Early Education will include birth – Pre-Kindergarten. You’ll fulfill your ministry focus by:

• Executing the ministry strategies laid out by the Lead Children’s Minister 
• Coordinating curriculum/teaching plans with other FCC Kids staff team members 
  
• Apprentice team members into various team positions associated with Sunday School and Wednesday Night classes, such as Teaching Teams and Assistant Teams. 

• Maintain strong teams by managing schedules, communicating clearly, ensuring needed resources are in place and consistent encouragement.
• Invite new volunteer team members to participate in our Shared Recruitment Strategy
• Meet weekly with the FCC Kids Team
• Take responsibility for some aspects of large church or staff events. 
• Participate in FCC All-Staff meetings, trainings, events, etc.  

Your Work with Others.  

Nobody flies solo here. We’re a dedicated staff team and are all partners in what’s happening at FCC, so we work in unison and always have each other’s back. Your part of the equation looks like this:  

• Participate fully with the FCC Kids Team by maintaining consistent office hours, taking initiative for your areas of responsibility and having a heart of service to see the entire ministry flourish.
• Work with the FCC Kids Team to create and execute strategies for both maintaining and developing the FCC Kids ministry to both children and parents/guardians. 
• Partner with other FCC staff teams, such as Communications and Operations Teams, by submitting requests, communicating plans and offering appreciation so that our various Teams work together smoothly and effectively for overall church health. 

Bonus Points. (special consideration given to candidates that also have these) 

• Previous experience volunteering or serving on a church staff in the areas of Children or Student Ministry education/curriculum development.
• Bachelor’s or advanced degree in either childhood education or children’s ministry 

Additional Information.  

• This position reports to the Lead Children’s Minister 
• This position is a 20 hour part-time role that serves on the FCC Kids Team  

Interested applicants should send resumes and references to Konnor Donahue.
