Why I Love This Opportunity

Eric Voris

Associate

Ingleside Children’s Ministry is an energetic and biblically-based program with terrific facilities and resources. The Children’s Ministry has a state-of-the-art worship venue and ample classroom space, all in a well-secured Children’s Area. Ingleside also has a terrific culture of service, so there is already a thriving team of volunteers serving in the Children’s Ministry ready to come alongside a new leader with a fresh vision. There are loads of raw materials to work with for the right leader who is ready to take this ministry to the next level.

  • Provide vision and leadership for the ministry to Kindergarten-5th Grade kids.
  • Recruit and train a growing team of volunteers to care for and teach kids on Sundays, Wednesdays, and special events.
  • Oversee large kids events (VBS, etc.) to provide opportunities for outreach and spiritual growth for families in the community.
  • Provide pastoral care for parents/families of elementary-age kids.
  • Work alongside other Next Generations staff to best support ministry to the entire family.
  • Manage the budget for elementary ministry.

What a Strong Candidate Would Look Like:

  • Has a growing walk with the Lord and a solid theological foundation.
  • A natural people-person who can recruit and care for people within their ministry.
  • Exceptional teaching ability, especially to children.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication.
  • Aligned with Ingleside’s vision and statement of faith.

About This Organization

Founded on October 4, 1951, Ingleside Baptist Church is beautifully nestled on a lush, green campus of rolling hills and mature trees in Macon, Georgia. Since September 4, 1989, Dr. Tim McCoy has led this thriving church into a new generation of vision and growth. Over the past 32+ years, there have been two additional services added and many new buildings constructed or renovated toward the overall priority of making disciples for the glory of God that come to worship, grow in a group, serve in the body, and go with the gospel.
Ingleside Baptist Church is located in North Macon, a beautiful suburban area, while still only a short drive from revitalized downtown with tons of historic charm and entertainment. People who call Ingleside home are genuine at every level and are dedicated to service because “every member is a minister!” Expectations are high, consistent with the culture established and modeled by the staff. Much of Ingleside Baptist’s staff have long tenures at the church because, as they put it, “this is a terrific place to raise a family.”

Position Description

Ingleside Children’s Ministry is an energetic and biblically-based program with terrific facilities and resources. The Children’s Ministry has a state-of-the-art worship venue and ample classroom space, all in a well-secured Children’s Area. Ingleside also has a terrific culture of service, so there is already a thriving team of volunteers serving in Children’s Ministry ready to come alongside a new leader with a fresh vision. There are loads of raw materials to work with for the right leader who is ready to take this ministry to the next level.

With multiple services over the weekend and every service continuing to grow, the Children’s Minister needs to be a strong team builder who can recruit and develop a strong team in all areas of Children’s Ministry. Serving in the body is a high value at Ingleside, and people are encouraged to use their gifts. Fortunately, Ingleside’s Next Generation structure splits preschool and elementary into two distinct and parallel roles, meaning the Children’s Pastor simply needs to focus on the ministry to kids from Kindergarten-5th Grade.
