Are you an enthusiastic leader passionate about including children, youth, and their families in the life of the church? Okemos Community Church is seeking to hire a full-time Director of Children, Youth, and Family ministries. As a welcoming and inclusive community, Okemos Community Church celebrates the unique giftedness of all people and encourages anyone with the relevant skills to apply.

The ideal candidate for this position is an enthusiastic leader who thrives in a collaborative environment and who can provide visionary leadership for the children’s, youth and family ministries at Okemos Community Church. Key qualifications include a degree in church, religious studies, or equivalent professional experience developing and implementing discipleship programming for children, youth, and families.
About our Ministry
Okemos Community Church has a strong children’s and youth ministry, including a staffed nursery on Sunday mornings, Sunday School for children 4 years old through 8th grade, and a youth group. The Sunday School program has grown in recent years to serve more than 35 children, and the youth program has revived a tradition of participating in a week-long summer mission trip out of state. As the church has welcomed a significant number of new families with children and youth over the past 2+ years, we are seeking a staff member who can continue developing and strengthening this ministry to include additional children, youth, and families.

- Sustain and expand ministries for children, youth, and families that support faith formation and integrate children, youth, and families into the life of the church.
- Recruit, train, supervise, and support volunteers for children’s and youth ministries.
- Plan and publicize family-oriented church events
- Maintain the church’s relationships and connection with college students
- Collaborate in worship planning to include and engage children and youth in worship experiences.
