Pastor/Coordinator of Kids Ministry – Central Baptist Church

Pastor/Coordinator of Kids Ministry – Central Baptist Church

Central Baptist is a Christ-centred, Bible-believing church with deep roots in Edmonton and a long history of faithful ministry. Central is a multi-site church serving the Edmonton metro area. We currently worship across three sites, with a fourth site preparing to launch in fall 2026. Central is seeking a pastor or coordinator of Kids Ministry for our current Connors Hill site.

Job Vision: To shepherd kids at Connors Hill and develop leaders who will do the same. To be actively growing in love for God, other believers, and unbelievers, and to have the gifting and passion to lead others with humility and servant-hearted confidence.

Key Areas of Leadership

Partner with Parents: Hold onto a broader vision than solely pastoring kids. Coming alongside parents to disciple their kids to know and love Jesus more.

Develop Leaders and Volunteers: Recruit, mature, and multiply leaders who are growing in their love for Jesus and are passionate about inviting kids to do the same. Release others to take on leadership roles, equipping them to raise up future leaders and pass on the ministry.

Pastor Kids: Deeply engage with kids (through grade 6), helping them follow Jesus with their whole lives. Pursue relationships with them on Sundays, at events, and throughout the week. Help kids know each other and encourage them to serve. Create opportunities for the next person to join in, whether it’s discovering Jesus for the first time or building relationships with peers and leaders.

Collaborate in Multi-site Initiatives: Work alongside other kids ministry staff across sites. Be a reliable and supportive team member, embodying the “better together” mentality. Champion the strengths of the multi-site model, celebrating the unity of one church in multiple locations.

Manage the Ministry: Communicate effectively with kids, parents, volunteers, and staff. Stay on top of administrative tasks and ensure all policies are followed. Create a safe, welcoming environment where ministry can thrive.
