Elementary Coordinator

Position Summary

Are you high-energy, exceptionally organized, and passionate about guiding the next generation to know and love Jesus? We are looking for an Elementary Coordinator to lead, design, and execute a dynamic ministry for our elementary-aged kids.

This isn't a typical desk job. It is a fast-paced, highly rewarding role that requires a mix of creative stage presence, technical production, administrative wizardry, and relational leadership. You will oversee weekly services, coordinate major events, manage budgets, and—most importantly—build a thriving volunteer team to make it all happen.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

Weekly Service Prep & Production

• Live Teaching & Stage Presence: Deliver engaging, high-energy live teaching messages that bring the Bible to life for elementary kids.
• Curriculum & Lesson Plans: Prepare, adapt, and distribute weekly lesson plans that align with our ministry's vision.
• Tech & Production: Oversee the technical elements of the elementary environment, including building slide decks in ProPresenter, programming lights, and editing videos for weekend services and social media.
• Classroom Management: Actively manage classrooms to ensure a safe, fun, and distraction-free environment where kids can learn.
• Set Up & Tear Down: Lead the physical setup and teardown of elementary environments, ensuring spaces are clean, welcoming, and excellent.

Team Building & Administration

• Building Your Team: Recruit, train, schedule, and shepherd a dedicated team of volunteer small group leaders and technical helpers.
• Workflow & Operations: Establish and maintain smooth weekly workflows to ensure all prep work is completed ahead of the weekend rush.
• Budgeting & Supplies: Keep the ministry fiscally healthy by managing the elementary budget and proactively ordering supplies for weekly lessons and upcoming events.
• Staff Meetings: Actively participate in weekly staff and creative planning meetings to align with the broader church vision.

Discipleship & Family Engagement

• Baptism Class: Facilitate and teach our kids' baptism class, helping children and parents understand this exciting step of faith.
• Family Nights: Coordinate, prep, and host Family Nights on Wednesdays during the fall and spring semesters. 

Signature Events & Camps

• You will be the point person or key collaborator for our major annual events, including:
• Level Up Party (celebrating kids transitioning to the next grade)
• Boys Conference & Girls Conference
• Vacation Bible School (VBS)
• SLKC Camp (Summer Camp)
• Family Movie Nights
• Christmas & Easter holiday services and outreaches

Schedule & Expectations

Please Note: Ministry is a lifestyle, not just a job. The work schedule for this role is very demanding but offers flexibility during the week to help you maintain a healthy work-life balance. Because our primary environments happen on the weekend, working Saturdays and Sundays is non-negotiable.

Qualifications

• A vibrant, growing personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
• Proven experience leading in children's ministry or a similar educational/recreational setting.
• Technical Savvy: Comfortable with or highly teachable in ProPresenter, basic video editing software, and light programming consoles.
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple projects and events simultaneously.
• Excellent communication skills, both on-stage to kids and off-stage to parents and volunteers.

Physical Requirements

• Ability to sit, stand, walk, and use office equipment for extended periods.
• Ability to occasionally lift and move materials up to 25 pounds.
