The Hills Church

Kids Pastor

Evansville,
Indiana
As the next Kids Pastor at The Hills you’ll get to lead ministry from birth through fifth grade, in an innovative way that moves past boring routines to fully align with the church’s mission to “Win, Train, and Send”. You will create a captivating space that sets a strong trajectory for a child’s spiritual life. Your role is to build and empower a massive volunteer army of “Coaches” from a congregation composed mostly of brand-new believers. By creating a fun, high-energy, and engaging environment, you will successfully draw older elementary kids out of the adult services and help them discover their God-given purpose.

Why We Love This Opportunity

A candidate stepping into this role will experience the ultimate freedom to be a “maverick coach” and try unconventional ideas. They will join a church that is seeing explosive growth and genuine life change on a weekly basis.

A great match for this position would be:

  • A Visionary Galvanizer: The ideal candidate inspires and equips a massive volunteer base from a congregation composed mostly of brand new believers. They know how to evaluate people exactly where they are and successfully coach them to the next level of leadership.
  • A Consistent Executor: This leader is highly organized and possesses the ability to start and finish tasks exceptionally well. They can foresee operational flaws before they happen and manage their ministry area effectively without constant hand holding.
  • A Collaborative Innovator: A candidate who is never satisfied with the status quo and believes innovation is the key to the mission. They are not afraid to boldly try unconventional ideas to reach the community and will confidently speak into the heart of the entire church.
  • An Empowering Team Builder: Rather than simply filling volunteer slots, this pastor genuinely loves building people up. They will build a massive volunteer army out of individuals who are brand new to the faith and have never actually “done church”.
  • A Utility Player: This person willingly steps out of their specific ministry silo to patch holes in the ship when needed. They enthusiastically jump into the trenches to support massive community outreach events like Winterfest, Red Hot and Boom, and the daily community center parties.

About This Organization

The Hills Church is a vibrant community built on the conviction that the local church should be a place where individuals can truly encounter Jesus. They operate as a home for misfits and exiles, creating a safe space where broken meets broken and no one has to pretend. The leadership intentionally focuses on reaching “Anthony,” a 32 year old divorced Catholic father, with the goal of making him the hero of his family. Averaging 2,500 attendees a weekend, the congregation proudly operates as a “starter church.” They sit at the bottom of the mountain pulling people out of the river and teaching them the foundational basics of faith.

Location

Evansville, Indiana, is a mid sized river city with a strong sense of community and approachability. Sitting along the Ohio River, it beautifully blends Midwest practicality with a bit of Southern warmth. People tend to be friendly, relational, and deeply connected through community events and neighborhood ties. It is the kind of place where families put down roots and stability meets growth.
