Director of Children, Youth, and Intergenerational Ministries

The Director of Children, Youth, and Intergenerational Ministries at Saint Paul’s Church will work collaboratively with a dedicated team of clergy, staff, and volunteers to continue to develop a small but vibrant ministry with and for children and youth in the parish.

There is some flexibility in how the position may be embodied. But the essentials are to work within a team of people serving God at Saint Paul’s, while taking primary responsibility for ensuring that our ministries with and for children and youth continue to deepen and expand. This is currently a half time position, with an ambition to extend it to full time.

Apply: submit resume and three references to the Reverend Eric Biddy: ebiddy@saintpauls.org

  • Work collaboratively with clergy and staff to manage the church schedule and increase the visibility of the ministry of children and youth in the parish.

  • Collaborate with other ministries in the church to empower them to expand participation, especially across generations.
  • Take an active pastoral interest in the faith lives of families with children and youth.
  • Go the extra mile to chase down busy families, making sure that they are informed of and feel invited to programs and events for children and youth.

Administration

  • Prepare and oversee the ministry budget and consistently use the financial approval and reporting systems. Take primary responsibility for the purchase of necessary supplies.
  • In consultation with vestry liaison for children/youth formation, make regular reports to the vestry and compose an annual report in advance of the Annual Meeting.
