Director of Christian Education
Graceway Presbyterian Church

Return to Ministry Opportunities in New Jersey
​Full-time
 
Church Description


Graceway is a PC(USA) congregation located in New Brunswick, NJ. We are an active and vibrant congregation of about 150 members (with approximately 100 children) comprising mostly young Asian American families. Graceway strives to encourage one another to follow Jesus Christ and invite others to Him. We choose to be with one another as we strive to work out our discipleship together. We understand that this call to walk alongside each other is not meant to stay confined within our own congregation; rather, we recognize the extent of responsibility to which it calls us out into the larger community and out further still to the world. We desire to extend God's gracious invitation so that we may journey together toward the feast that God has prepared for us.

Candidate Duties and Responsibilities
  • Implement a Sunday school education curriculum for the children in Kids Ministry (Pre-K to grade 5) that leads them to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
  • Lead the Sunday worship for Kids Ministry (Pre-K to grade 5).
  • Oversee and coordinate with staff to facilitate the Youth (grades 6-12), Tots (age 2 to 4 years), and Sprouts (age 6 months to 2 years) Ministries in line with Graceway’s vision.
  • Build positive, healthy, and affirming relationships with children, parents, and volunteers.
  • Communicate with parents in ways that encourage partnership and involvement.
  • Recruit, train, supervise, and encourage volunteer leadership in the children’s ministries.
  • Support special events such as our annual retreat and Christmas/Easter presentations. Coordinate children-based activities during church events such as church retreats, VBS, and Christmas and Easter services.
​
Ministry Position Description

We are seeking a full-time Director of Christian Education for the children of Graceway Presbyterian Church (“Graceway”).

This may transition to a called pastoral position based on mutual interest.

  • Strong communication, interpersonal, and organizational skills.
