Qualifications
We are a small church (averaging 210 between two Sunday worship services) on a big mission: to make disciples for Jesus Christ of all people, and grow disciples who joyfully obey all of His commands to love God and love people. In our north-central Kansas family-friendly farming community, we are focused on fulfilling the Great Commission by living out the Great Commandment.
Despite our rural setting, we are experiencing God’s favor in reaching increasing numbers of children and young families. To keep in step with the Holy Spirit, we are seeking to hire additional staff who can help equip God’s people for works of service, that the body of Christ may be built up.
The Director of Children’s Discipleship is a full-time, salaried position. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who feels called by the Lord, but lacks ministry experience. You can gain that with us if you are a Biblically passionate, well-organized person who is able to communicate the Gospel and equip volunteers to serve effectively. We are seeking a loving disciple of Jesus Christ who has a heart to make and grow disciples of children (infants through Grade 6) through leadership of volunteers and direct involvement in BFCC’s Children’s Ministries.
Salary & Benefits

Can be done remote?

We are a small church (averaging 210 between two Sunday worship services) on a great mission: to make disciples for Jesus Christ of all people, and to grow disciples to joyfully obey all of His commands to love God and love people. In our rural, family-friendly farming community here in north central Kansas, we are focused on fulfilling the Great Commission by living out the Great Commandment. In particular, the Lord has determined to bless us with a growing number of young families, so we are seeking to keep in step with the movement of the Holy Spirit by hiring additional staff who can help equip God’s people for works of service so that the body of Christ may be built up.
