Planted in 1997, in Vancouver, WA, we’re a contemporary, evangelical church whose mission is to see people transformed by Jesus as we proclaim the gospel with our words and our lives. We’re ordinary people who have fallen in love with Jesus and want our friends and neighbors to know Him too. We’re in a season of growth and our Children’s Pastor of 4+ years is resigning to spend more time with her family, so we’re looking for a new Children’s Pastor who loves and lives with Jesus, and is called to join us in fulfilling our mission.

This is the perfect role for someone who is passionate about people and has the leadership and organizational skills to mobilize others to build the church. You’ll mobilize and lead teams to disciple and care for our preschoolers and grade school children. You’ll also be part of our Leadership Team (see Organizational Chart below).

• Godly Character – an authentic personal relationship with Jesus that influences how you live and lead
• Leadership – a servant‑hearted leader who ensures ministries under your guidance are well led, and necessary strategic changes are made to ensure they contribute to our mission and grow to their full potential
• Team Work – to work in humble partnership with other leaders and the Lead Pastor
• Volunteer Mobilization – recruit and lead church members to serve and lead by identifying, resourcing, empowering, encouraging and caring for them
• Teaching – ability to teach regularly at an appropriate level for students and young adults, and occasionally our whole church family
• Personal – a self‑starter with a strong work ethic, initiative, integrity, high organization, great follow‑up and an optimistic approach to life
• Personal Development – to grow in leadership and relationship with Jesus
• Administrative Skills – sufficient to prepare and oversee a ministry budget

This is a 30‑hour part‑time position, with flexible and negotiable hours and the potential to increase as the church grows, with an expense account, and reporting to the lead pastor as per the Eastpark Church employee handbook.

Perspective – Jesus is the hope of the world, so we take the opportunity to serve Christ in the church very seriously. We are committed to doing everything diligently, in a manner and style that is contemporary and relevant, to a standard of excellence.
