Opportunity in Children's Ministry

April 2012

Little Trinity Anglican Church is seeking a half to three-quarter time (negotiable) Director of Children and Family Ministries.  Priorities include providing developmentally and age appropriate worship, education and fellowship for children from birth to grade 5, as well as to develop relationships with and provide ongoing pastoral care to children and families.

Little Trinity Church is an evangelical Anglican church located in downtown Toronto.  Its mission statement describes it as “a gospel community worshipping God and dedicated to sharing the love, truth and power of Jesus Christ with friends and strangers”.

Little Trinity has a significant number of young children.  The church draws its membership from across the Greater Toronto Area and the local community.  The parish is poised to welcome thousands of new residents to the area due to the development of the West Donlands and the popularity of the neighbouring Distillery District.  The church is embarking on a major project to renovate and restore our physical space.

We seek an emotionally and relationally mature Christian with the following qualities:

·         an active and growing relationship with God through Jesus Christ and a passion for developing the same in our children and their families;

·         relevant post-secondary education and experience that includes a working knowledge of child development and family dynamics and a strong theological foundation;

·         ability to provide appropriate pastoral care, practical support and referrals as needed to our children and families;

·         an engaging and confident personality that allows one to be the “face” of the Children’s Ministry at Little Trinity and an effective facilitator of community connections;

·         strong administration, planning, presentation and time management skills, allowing for efficient functioning in all aspects of the position.

Those interested in being considered as candidates for the position should submit a letter outlining their qualifications for the position, attaching both a resume and at least three references to:
