Our Youth and Children’s ministries have grown over the last several years through the work of our great Volunteers.
We have a Family Life Center (gymnasium. Classrooms, kitchen, etc.) that is full paid off, a softball field, two buses, and a thriving congregation of young people.
Wednesday Night Kids and Teens generally see about 50-60 young people in attendance, and about 25 Volunteer workers. We send about 50 kids to Church Camp at Siloam Springs, conduct fundraisers, and have special events for our young people.
We are in need of a Youth and Children’s Pastor to not only offer some relief to our Volunteer Leadership, but to act in true pastoral leadership for our young people. Our Wednesday night High School classes in particular contain over 30 teens (mostly boys), and they are in need of pastoral leadership beyond what our Volunteers can provide.
If the Lord God should send you our way, we will support you in this ministry, serve alongside you, and help you any way we can.
We are praying for you already, and look forward to your arrival.
