Job Opening:
Children and Youth Ministry Coordinator

Position:

This position would be a hands on rebuild of our children and youth ministry. We are looking for a self-starter, developer kind of person, who loves the Lord and discipling children and young people. The primary purpose is to redevelop and build up the Children and Youth Ministry of Journey Community Church (JCC) in ways that support the effective delivery of the church’s mission.

If you are up for the adventure of working with a great team of people, who are bringing renewal to a church in the San Gabriel Valley, then we would like to talk with you about the possibilities.

Our vision is to create a fun, spirit filled, Christian ministry for kids and youth that will touch their lives and the lives of their friends. Journey Community Church is just a few blocks over from a huge mission field of High School, Middle School and Elementary students, and we believe the possibilities are there for the right person who has a heart to reach them.

We are developing a full-time position that requires Sunday morning attendance and will focus on building a growing children and youth ministry. If you have a heart for Jesus, a passion for kids, great leadership and organizational skills then join us in creating this position. We value fresh ideas and new approaches, so if you think outside the box, we would like to talk with you.

Here are some things that our team has seen as part of the mission for this position, with the hope that you will shape these key responsibilities with your own experience, style and ideas:

•            Program Development and Implementation: Creating and executing comprehensive youth ministry programs, including weekly meetings, Bible studies, retreats, mission trips, and service projects.

•            Leadership and Mentorship: Serving as a guide and mentor for youth, providing counseling and spiritual guidance, and encouraging their active involvement in the church.

•            Faith Formation: Coordinating and leading confirmation classes, bible studies, and other faith formation activities.

•            Volunteer Management: Recruiting, training, and supporting volunteers and youth leaders.

•            Communication with Parents: Maintaining regular communication with parents and guardians about youth programs and events.

•            Safety and Well-being: Ensuring a safe and welcoming environment for all youth participants.

•            Staying Current: Staying up-to-date on contemporary youth culture and issues to make ministry relevant and engaging.
