Kids Ministry Director

Kids Ministry Director

The Kids Ministry Director leads Flourishing Grace Kids and develops programs and strategies that help parents, families, and our church family lead kids into flourishing relationships with Jesus.

Flourishing Grace Church is a growing church situated in a bedroom community just north of Salt Lake City. Utah is known, among many things, as a place with lots of kids and young families. In our eight years as a church, one of the most significant avenues for outreach and evangelism has been with kids and families. Our vision for ministry with kids and families is that Flourishing Grace will be a place that not only serves kids well by creating engaging environments where they can begin a flourishing relationship with Jesus, but that we also equip parents as the primary disciples of their children.
