Children's Worker

We are seeking to appoint a Children's Worker to oversee ministry amongst 0-11s. This is an opportunity for a Bible-loving and well-organised Christian man or woman to support evangelism and discipleship amongst children, in partnership with parents.

Responsibilities

The vision for our children's work is that children would grow in a real and personal faith in the Lord Jesus; we do this by supporting parents in their ministry to their children as the primary Bible teachers and through faithful, engaging Bible teaching to the children in an age-appropriate way on Sundays when the church family gathers. StAG has over 140 under 11s in the church family, and we'll typically see 90-100 at one of our six children's groups & three creches over our two Sunday morning services. The role holder will work under the immediate oversight of the Associate Vicar and will have administrative oversight of all the 0-11s children's ministry as well as responsibility for all the Bible teaching that happens within it.

Required skills

Able to understand and teach God's word in a way that is faithful and engaging. Able to organise a team of leaders. Plan a programme that is edifying and encouraging. Organised, capable of balancing and wisely prioritising a diverse workload.

Other

The role is envisaged as 2/3 FTE. It may be applied for in conjunction with the Families/Adults Worker (1/3 FTE) we're also advertising. Find out more https://www.stag.org/vacancies/
