Job description



SEACOAST COMMUNITY CHURCH

ENCINITAS, CA


Seacoast Community Church is looking for their next Children's Ministry Leader! Seacoast Community Church is a part of EFCA and ministers to 450 adults and 40-60 kids on Sundays! They are an authentic body of believers with a hope to get their kids connected to the Lord through real life experiences like Sunday gatherings and kids events!

For close to 60 years Seacoast Community Church has served and ministered in North San Diego County, which is known for its beautiful beaches and laid-back beach and surf culture. They’re a multi-generational church that mirrors the general population of Encinitas. Though a few socio-economic classes make up Encinitas, the immediate area is seen as affluent and well educated.



"We believe the role of the church is to partner with parents in helping kids become disciples of Jesus. We believe the kids programming should create a place where1) Kids learn about Jesus, 2) They have a fun time and positive experiences, 3) Parents are supported, and 4) We create safe spaces by focusing on quality physical spaces and well trained volunteers."



CHALLENGE & OPPORTUNITY

Diving into the opportunity to build a vibrant kids ministry program with a team of excited, well-trained leaders will be waiting at Seacoast Community Church. The new Children's Pastor for Seacoast will thrive as a team leader and team builder. The existing staff in kids ministry is dedicated, solid and looking for a leader to invest in them and their God given passions. Joining the team at a church who has a laid back ambiance means the next Children's Pastor needs to be a self starter and finisher. Families are busy and the challenge of building space for busy volunteers is an on-going challenge. Coupled with the chance to be a part of a church body who genuinely loves to be together, this will be a great place to settle the next season of ministry.
