Kids Ministry Leader

Cottage Grove Church

Des Moines, IA • On-site

Full-time

Posted 26 days ago

Job description

The Five C Framework:
  • Calling
    • A clear sense of conviction to serve our people, place and purpose, as confirmed by others.
      Can be discerned as one of multiple kinds of calling, but in any case is reflected not only in duty but also in desire.
  • Character
    • Discernment of God's qualification of their character through evidence of the activity of the gospel in their life in the areas of deacon or elder qualifications from 1 Timothy 3. Dictates credibility as a leader.
  • Chemistry
    • Relational and cultural compatibility with a diversity of people who share the culture and shared values of the staff team and family at Cottage Grove. An equal 'yoking' of philosophy, values, and principles as well as a sense of how it makes others feel when they need to work with you.
  • Competency
    • A matching of current demonstrated knowledge, skills, and abilities required to perform the tasks and responsibilities of the role.
  • Capacity
    • Capacity is reflected in two ways. One is in current capability, which includes having the degree of margin, emotional endurance, and spiritual maturity that are appropriate for the normal responsibilities of the role, considering scope, weight, and reps of the burden carried. The other is as a capacity for growth, or the level of potential future ability which considers intelligence, aptitude for learning, initiative, and demonstrated pattern of growth.

This framework serves as the criteria in how we evaluate our team members. As a staff team we value acceptability to these traits and expect each staff member will demonstrate continual growth in all of these areas.
