The ideal candidate is spiritually sound and marked by godliness, with a clear desire to see children come to a saving relationship with Jesus and to grow as lifelong disciples. This individual brings experience in children's ministry and demonstrates strong, vision-forward leadership-able to think strategically, plan for the future, and guide a thriving, growing ministry with wisdom and faith.

This leader is organized, energetic, and creative, balancing big-picture thinking with strong attention to detail.

With a compassionate and empathetic heart, they are attentive to people's needs and intentional about addressing them with care and discernment. A clear communicator and collaborative team player, this candidate leads with confidence while valuing input, partnership, and shared ownership of ministry.

Passionate about ministry and eager to grow, this leader demonstrates both the capacity and desire for ongoing development-personally, spiritually, and professionally-while helping others do the same.
