After partnering with Grace on their successful student ministry search last year, I’m excited to link arms again to place their next Director of Children’s Ministry. This vibrant PCA church is growing because God is moving in and through this congregation, as they love and serve their Chicagoland neighbors well. I can’t wait to see who joins the amazing team at Grace to catapult this vital children’s ministry forward!
Grace Presbyterian Church is a medium-sized, Gospel-centered church on Chicago’s North Shore. This PCA church in Winnetka, IL, is experiencing an exciting spiritual and numerical growth season, particularly among families with children and teens. Grace’s worship services, community outreach, and an array of ministries for all ages are known for honoring God and serving people where they are in this unique cultural context. Over 275 people participate in the weekly Sunday gathering, including the 10 am worship service and simultaneous children’s ministry (infant – 4th grade). Grace’s vision is clear: to know and experience Jesus and make his kingdom and presence known on the North Shore, Chicago, and beyond. They’re looking for a Director of Children’s Ministry who will champion the next ministry chapter so that the Gospel transforms kids and families for life.
The Director of Children’s Ministry oversees the planning, coordinating, and implementation of gospel-centered ministry environments for children from birth through fourth grade. Grace is looking for a relational leader of leaders who will build equipped teams, intentionally develop lay leadership and the ministry, and make authentic cultural connections with both the church and the surrounding community in alignment with the church’s mission and vision.
