Job description

Kids Corner Associate Director - South Park Church

Kid’s Corner Associate Director
(Birth - Kindergarten)

(Focus: Shepherd-Leader & Team Builder)

Applications Close August 20, 2026

Part Time 15-18 hrs/week
$24/hour

Passionate leader who loves seeing children grow in Jesus while equipping an amazing team of volunteers to do the same? We are looking for a relational, vision-driven Kid’s Corner Associate Director (Birth–Kindergarten) to shepherd our leaders and volunteers, nurture our families, and create vibrant, safe spaces where kids thrive.

The Mission (If One Accepts It):

The candidate isn't just managing programs; but building a thriving community of shepherd-leaders and ministry teams. The primary goal is to love, support, and empower our volunteers so they can, in turn, effectively disciple the children.

The "Fun" Responsibilities:

· Volunteer Cultivator (Shepherd-Leader): Identify, recruit, and coach new leaders, moving them from supporters to shepherd-leaders.

· Team Cheerleader: Build community-based, high-energy teams through regular "huddles" and personal care (one-on-ones, prayer, and encouragement).

· Strong Leadership Partner: Collaborate with the Children’s Ministry Director to craft a fun, Jesus-centered ministry vision, which includes epic events like VBS and holiday programs.

· Family Partner: Equip parents to be the primary spiritual leaders at home.

· Culture Creator: Foster a culture of appreciation and safety (handwritten notes, public praise, and rigorous safety checks and processes).

To Become Our Next Leader, One should:

· Loves Jesus & Kids: One has a growing faith and a huge heart for nurturing children.

· A People Person: Strong relational intelligence, communication skills, and a "shepherd's heart".

· A Coach: Experience in developing teams and delegating tasks effectively.

· Experience: 3+ years in ministry/education leadership is preferred, but not critical.

· Education: A degree in Bible, Theology, or Education is great, but a passion for discipleship is essential.

Ready to build a fun, faithful Kid’s Ministry? Let’s talk!
