Current Ministry Situation & Key Responsibilities
1)    Youth Ministry:

  • Jr. High launched 2 years ago and averages 20 youth on Tuesday Nights. 90% of them are from the neighbourhood with little to no church background or understanding of Scripture. We’ve taken them through Youth Alpha, and Scripture every week.

  • We have several volunteers from young adults to seniors helping in different areas.

  • We have a few grade 9 students who are volunteering.

  • Sr. High Ministry will need to be developed.

  • You have a great base of kids and volunteers to build from with a focus on expanding the youth ministry with fun and creative ideas with the intention on seeing youth enter into and grow as disciples of Christ and leaders.  

2)    Children ages newborn to 10:

  • We have a good base of volunteers and one coordinator.

  • Being a smaller church, the number of children, on any given Sunday, could vary from three to ten.

  • Need to grow the volunteer base.

  • Work with team to consider outreaches/growth in young families.

3)    Young Adults:

  • We have seen this ministry grow from four to over ten in approximately a year. 

  • They are a very capable and enthusiastic group.

  • You would provide encouragement and support, as needed, for their ministry and to help them mature in Christ and leadership.

Next Steps
1)    Prayerfully consider if this is where God might be calling you to serve.

2)    Send me your resume with a cover letter.

3)    I’ll meet with potential candidates informally to get to know one another. Then, a possible, more formal interview with myself and elder(s).

4)    Once a strong candidate is found, we’ll ask you to connect with the AGC (Associated Gospel Churches of Canada) credentialling team to ensure there’s a fit within the AGC.
