Children's Ministry Residency (One Year)
Redeeming Life Church is offering a one-year Children's Ministry Residency to the right candidate. Our Children's Ministry Resident should be a Christian and desire to serve the local church in children's ministry. The Resident will be given opportunities to work with our Family Pastor and our Lead Pastor to teach children and volunteers, preach children's sermons, schedule volunteers, evaluate training materials and activity ideas, and other related ministries. In addition, we will give the Resident opportunities and resources to learn more about children's ministry in a "boots-on-the-ground" learning environment.
While this is an unpaid residency, the right candidate will be given many opportunities to grow, gain experience, and build a resume. We will provide books and other resources. Every week, the Resident will receive an hour of training with our Family Pastor or children's ministry leaders and an hour with Dr. Bryan Catherman (our Lead Pastor) for discipleship, coaching, and general ministry training. As we hope the Resident may remain in Utah with Redeeming Life, another church, or join a church plant, we will also introduce the Resident to other pastors and church planters in the area. If necessary, we are very willing to modify this residency to meet seminary field training education and be eligible for seminary or Bible college credit. This residency might be perfect for online students!
We expect the Resident to serve at our 11:00 AM Sunday morning worship service and attend our 6:30 PM Sunday evening worship service to fuel the soul. There will also be an hour or two of necessary prep each week. While the Resident is not required to become a member, we expect that the Resident will be plugged in with Redeeming Life Church. He or she must agree with our statement of beliefs. Depending on the Resident, we may occasionally ask the Resident to lead or design other children's activities, VBS-style events, or outreaches.
Redeeming Life Church is the merge of a 60-year-old church and a 6-year-old church plant. Children and family ministry are important to us.
We highly recommend that interested candidates review our website and watch at least a couple of live-streamed services. We want to be sure we are a good fit for the Resident as much as the Resident be a good fit for us.
Interested candidates should send a resume and cover letter to Info@RedeemingLifeUtah.org. A background check will be required for this residency.
