Familiarity with church management software, social media platforms, and event coordination tools is typically required.

What is a community church?

A community church is a local Christian congregation that welcomes people from various backgrounds and denominations. Its primary focus is to serve the spiritual and practical needs of its surrounding community through worship services, outreach programs, and fellowship activities. Community churches often emphasize inclusivity, community service, and building strong relationships among members. They may not be affiliated with a specific denomination, allowing for a broader range of beliefs and practices.

Job description

Children's Director - The Hills Community Church
At The Hills our mission is to lead anyone and everyone into a life-changing relationship with Jesus.
This position is perfect for someone who is looking for a way to make an impact in the lives of kids and their families! The Hills Kids Director leads a team of 30 volunteers consisting of 7-10 per week who create unforgettable experiences for kids every week at The Hills Community Church. The Hills Kids ministry has fluctuated from 15-30 kids. We've built a strong system that you will lead full of leaders and amazing volunteers who teach, lead, and disciple our kids together.
Sunday Mornings: the Hills Kids Director will oversee the set up, execution, and tear down of Hills Kids for our portable church environment that happens every Sunday at Double Peak School in San Marcos.
Wednesday Nights: One of the responsibilities of our new Hills Kids Director is to create a Wednesday night experience for kids to learn scripture and grow in their relationship with Jesus.
Service Opportunities: the Hills Kids Director helps empower kids and their families to serve at the schools, in the community, and even on mission trips. This has looked like mission trips to Tijuana to an orphanage, taking a team to Brooklyn for a mission trip, serving meals to teachers at our local schools, beach days, park days, and helping with work days at local non-profits.
Hills Kids Camp: Every Summer the entire church comes together to put on the most fun week of the year with Hills Kids Camp! Over 140 people are involved (kids and adults), and the entire church comes alongside the kids director to make this the most amazing experience for kids!
The Hills Kids Director is someone who loves kids, has a gift for connecting with them, and can help train up other leaders to connect, teach, and disciple kids. The ideal candidate is a kid magnet--someone who is always connecting with kids and engaging them. You will also need to be a recruiting machine! If you have a hard time recruiting people to help you with something, this job will be impossible.
The Hills staff and leadership will be fully available to help, train, and empower the Hills Kids Director in every way. We will help raise the funds to accomplish your ministry goals, we will meet with the Kid's Director regularly and help build up the team of volunteers, and we will help the Kid's Director's dream and vision in order to take our kids ministry to the next level!
This is a part-time position for 20 hours per week that will pay $21-25 per hour. There will not be medical or retirement benefits at this time, but for the right person we will offer vacation.
Weekly schedule:
Sunday Morning 7:00am-12:30pm
Monday Staff Meeting 1:00-2:30pm
Wednesday Night 6:00-9:00pm
Weekly One on One with Pastor - 1 Hour
Flex Work: Preparing lessons, meeting with volunteers, supporting Kids at their activities
Kids Camp 2027: June 22-25
