>>> Are you a mature, grounded Christian with experience working with challenging youth? My Father's Arrows is looking for dependable men and women who can combine compassion with structure, maintain strong professional boundaries, remain calm under pressure, and build meaningful relationships with children who have experienced significant trauma.

HIRING NOW — My Father’s Arrows Ministry is looking for responsible Christians (living according to Biblical standards and My Father’s Arrows Statement of Faith), that identify with our core values and mission.

***This position is full time status for some evenings (4:30pm-8:30pm) and every weekend (7:30am-8:30pm). All applicants must be ready and able to work these days/hours.

We need individuals capable of utilizing a balance of nurturing and loving approach, healthy professional boundaries, and structure, to provide a safe, therapeutic setting for boys and girls deeply impacted by trauma.

The caregivers here play a key role in our holistic philosophy of care by using a team-oriented, trauma informed approach in the care of our children. Our challenge as a team is to minister to the "whole" child. A calm and controlled demeanor is absolutely essential for this ministerial role. As a caregiver, you will teach and care for a small group of boys or girls, age 7 to 17, to foster their character development, spiritual growth, emotional growth, social skills, coping skills, and help them learn valuable life skills.

We are a working ranch, and our children and staff work with horses daily and assist with outdoor activities such as horseback riding, gardening, camping, and other ranch-based programs.

We're looking for staff who feel God's call to serve with children. This is a distinctively ministerial role. We are a Christian, faith-based organization who care for children who have been deeply affected by trauma through abuse, neglect, abandonment, or rejection.
