Thank you for reviewing the Children’s Minister position offering. Cana Church is seeking a new team member to lead and develop an already excellent discipleship work to children and families. We look forward to discovering more about you and your fit at Cana.

Cana Church is a Southern Baptist Church, has a traditional history, and has made great strides in the previous few years to modernize our ministry while holding a biblical faith. The current children’s minister is an 18 year veteran of Cana. During her tenure, children’s ministry has become more pronounced, influential, and effective. Out of a regular attendance of 250 people, 30-35% are children. Most children are preschool aged.

Cana is looking for the right person to disciple children, love their parents, and contribute to the goal of fostering adult followers of Christ. We envision a future ministry that provides strong and sequential childhood theological education as an integrated whole with the overall education of the church. The successful minister will be concerned with a spiritually effective ministry to children and their families.

Lead and expand our children’s ministry programs, ensuring they align with our theological values and principles. Organize events and activities that engage children and their families, fostering a deep, communal relationship with Christ. Manage and execute administrative and budgetary aspects of the children’s ministry. Recruit, train, and mentor volunteers and staff involved in the ministry. Collaborate closely with the pastoral team to ensure that the children’s ministry complements the broader church objectives.

A demonstrable calling to Christian vocational ministry aligned with the character requirements of 1 Timothy 3:1–7 and Titus 1:6–9. A minimum of five years of experience in children’s ministry, with proven administrative and leadership skills. A bachelor’s degree in a relevant field is required; a master’s degree in theological studies is preferred. Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with proficiency in using media tools to promote church events and activities. Ability to pass a stringent background check and uphold a safe and nurturing environment for children.

A supportive, spiritually enriching community environment where you can grow both personally and professionally. Competitive salary and benefits package. Opportunities for professional development through regular training and workshops. A close-knit team that values collaboration and innovation in ministry.

Live within a reasonable distance from the church or be willing to relocate. Exhibit a strong Christian witness and maintain high biblical standards in personal and professional life. Engage actively in church life, both personally and with your family. Uphold the mission and vision of the church under the guidance of the Senior Pastor. Interested candidates are invited to apply by sending a resume, a cover letter detailing your calling and qualifications, and two professional references.
