Job Title:
Family and Children’s Ministry Director: Faith Covenant Church
Job Description:
Faith Covenant is a mid-sized church (100–150 weekly attendance) with a heart for Christ, community, and the next generation. We’re seeking a Family and Children’s Ministry (FCM) Director to be responsible for the oversight and leadership of the children’s ministry programs. This role provides direction and guidance to program development, coordination, implementation and direction to staff and volunteers who are committed to shepherding children, birth through fifth grade along with their families. The FCM Director is a servant leader who has a heart for young families and loves children and wants to help them develop their own personal relationship with God.
This role isn’t just about maintaining programs — it’s about building something vital: a ministry that nurtures faith at home and equips parents. In addition to internal ministry, the FCM Director will help lead the church in deepening our connection with the surrounding community—building bridges with local families, schools, and neighborhoods so that we increasingly reflect and serve the people around us. Candidates should have experience in attracting and nurturing new families, as evidenced by increasing the number of families participating in this ministry. As the ministry grows, additional hours may be added to the director role.
This position is part-time. Flexible hours, competitive compensation based on experience, and other benefits are negotiable.
Email cover letter and resume to jobs@faithcov.net. Please specifically address in the cover letter why you are interested in this position, why you might be called to Faith Covenant, and what would make you stand out from other candidates.
