Job at San Pedro Presbyterian Church

Director of Children's Ministry

Job Description

Position: Children’s Ministries Director

Status: Part-time, Salary

San Pedro Presbyterian Church (San Antonio, TX)

Mission, Vision, Strategy and Worship of San Pedro Presbyterian:

San Pedro Presbyterian Church exists to glorify God and make God known to others. We are under the leadership of a new Senior Pastor as of March 1st, 2021. Currently we are developing a renewed vision for ministries to families. This position will play a key role in clarifying God’s picture of the future for San Pedro PC.

Our strategy moving forward is to develop more programming on Sunday morning for families to coincide with our worship opportunities. Currently we offer relaxed traditional worship services with attendance between 200 to 275 people. We also offer a Wednesday children’s program with music and programming. We are moving away from a dedicated Sunday School hour towards a concurrent scheduling model with programming for children in two services.

About This Role: The role of the Children’s Ministry Director is to serve as the primary spiritual leader of all programming geared towards families and children from 5th grade to nursery. San Pedro PC has a rich history of welcoming families, but with new pastoral leadership in a post-COVID context we believe we have an opportunity to expand our outreach to families. This position reports to the Associate Pastor.

participation.

Strengths & Skillset: 1. Mature follower of Jesus with an authentic love for God and a heart for children and parents.
2. Good administrative skills to work with a larger and high energy team of staff.
3. Hard worker who can support the new Senior Pastor’s leadership point of view and values.
4. Effective time management skills to balance work and personal life needs.
5. Able to manage communication needs of children’s ministry with clear, professional writing and consistent information to parents.

Personal Responsibilities: 1. Maintain God-ordained priorities by putting Jesus Christ first, your family second, and the ministry third.
2. If applicable, include your family in the life of San Pedro PC.
3. Be loyal to the vision and staff of San Pedro Presbyterian Church and always protect the unity of
the church.
4. Demonstrate a Christ-like attitude through all interactions with congregation, staff, and volunteers.
