Are you passionate about leading kids to Jesus and equipping the next generation of disciples? Do you love creating engaging, dynamic environments where children can grow in faith, build relationships, and experience the love of Christ? If so, we’d love to meet you!

At Canyon Hills Friends Church, we believe that children's ministry is more than just childcare-it’s a mission field where young hearts are shaped, families are strengthened, and lives are transformed. We’re looking for a Children’s Pastor who is ready to lead with vision, creativity, and a heart for reaching kids and their families with the gospel.

• Create a Safe & Welcoming Environment by overseeing classroom coordination, childcare staff, and safety protocol including on boarding protocols and background checks.

This is your chance to make a lasting difference by helping children build a strong biblical foundation, equipping parents to disciple their kids, and leading a ministry that brings joy, excitement, and transformation!

What We’re Looking For:

• Organized & proactive, with the ability to develop and implement ministry plans.
• Energetic & relational, ready to connect with kids, parents, and church families.
• Committed to the mission of making more and better disciples of Jesus Christ!
