Location: Beecroft, NSW
Date advertised: 27th August 2024
Job Type: Part time
Closing Date: 30th September 2024

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

Research shows that in Australia the vast majority of 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 part-time (up to 4 days) Children’s minister:

1. Oversee all aspects of ministry to children (up to year 6) at St John’s; and
2. To assist the Assistant Minister in pastorally caring for the families of our 10am service.

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 hard-working, highly-motivated self-starter, who is nevertheless able to work in a team;
• experienced in ministering to primary school children with evidence of a fruitful ministry of at least 4 years;
• pastorally minded and empathetic to the multiple issues that children and their families face;
• proven in raising up, leading and managing a team of volunteers to deliver children’s ministry;  
• an engaging teacher with theological training (minimum of Diploma of Theology or of Ministry) who can communicate and apply God's word to children in a variety of settings;
• skilled in partnering with parents in their role of discipling their primary school children;
• dedicated to personal spiritual growth as God's beloved child;
• wanting to be invested in and given tailored training, performance reviews and pastoral support in pursuit of improvement for God’s glory?
