Journey Christian Church is seeking a full-time Children’s/Youth Minister.  We are a newly-relaunched church located in Woodstock, Georgia, just north of Atlanta.  Woodstock is one of the fastest growing cities in the United States.  Our vision is to bring the peace of Christ to every household in our community.  We seek to accomplish this through robust, evangelistic strategies, caring for the community with an emphasis on supporting foster families, and ministering in our neighborhoods.  We are a church of 120 with about 1/3 of our congregation being recent additions.

We purchased property in an area expected to experience the greatest future growth in Cherokee County.  There are 175,000 people within a fifteen-minute drive of our property.  90,000 of those people rarely or never attend church.  God has placed us on a mission field.  We hope to have the first phase of our building completed in 2021.

As a church of volunteers, Journey is looking for someone gifted in administration, willing to oversee the various ministry areas for the youth of our church.  This position does not expect one person to “do everything,” but instead to recruit, love, support and encourage volunteers in their areas of service.

We understand that these two ministry areas (Youth and Children’s Ministry) are very different.  As a newly-launched church, we are all wearing many hats as we prepare for growth.  Our goal is that this one paid position will become two paid positions when we reach an average weekly attendance of 200.

Compensation will be based on experience.  We prefer candidates to have a minimum of a bachelor’s degree in Christian higher education.  We believe in the unifying call of the Restoration Movement wholeheartedly and seek a candidate who shares that conviction.

To see a job description, please contact Dusty Elmore at delmore@journeyhere.org.

THK Sunday Morning: Is a weekly program on Sunday mornings designed for birth through elementary and their families. It involves traditional program elements of children’s ministry done in a large group as well as portions of time given to smaller groups focused on discipleship.

Learning Communities: Periodically we offer smaller extension classes to the church as a whole for continued spiritual growth and development. Typically THK offers an experience through these opportunities. Those experience range from parenting classes and family nights all the way to at home opportunities for families.

Family Discipleship: As part of the vision at RiverTree Jackson we aim to see the Kingdom come alive in every street, neighborhood, and place. We believe THK has the opportunity to be a catalyst for that goal by inviting families to engage in discipleship and see the Kingdom first come to life within their homes. While we value excellent Sunday morning experiences our goal is to always invite families into more and experience faith outside of the church walls. This is done primarily through relationships but is facilitated with resources and invitations into new creative experiences.
