- ensuring that our children’s ministry structures both edify and equip our children for growth in Christ and evangelism
- partnering with congregational ministers to equip parents in family discipleship
- ensuring that all our children’s ministry complies with Safe Ministry practices
To serve as a member of the ministry team in the leadership of NCA Church-wide ministries, through:
- teaching, and leading the recruitment for, local SRE at one of our local primary schools
- serving in occasional kids’, youth, or community ministry events
- being part of our church-wide evangelism strategy
Requirements:
- abiding conviction that ministry grows through the prayerful teaching of God’s Word and the gospel
- theological training (ideally degree level) and relevant ministry experience
- willingness to work in a team that has conservative reformed evangelical convictions, including a complementarian understanding of the roles of men and women in ministry
- personal spiritual maturity for a significant ministry leadership role
- gifted in handling the Word of God, and bringing it to bear in people’s lives faithfully, creatively, and practically, both in public and in private
- the ability to disciple children, partner with parents, and train others in this work

- a commitment to investing heavily in the lives of children’s ministry leaders
