Children’s Ministry Coordinator

Overview

St. Barnabas Anglican Church is seeking a Children’s Ministry Coordinator/Lead Teacher to provide consistent leadership for our growing Sunday School environment.  St. Barnabas is a broad, multigenerational and multicultural Anglican parish located in the Hillhurst area of northwest Calgary.  We are seeking someone who will help children know that they are valued members of the church community, support their growth in faith, and help build meaningful connections between Sunday School and the worshipping life of the parish.

At present, Sunday School primarily operates in a one-room, mixed-age environment. The successful candidate will lead Sunday School each week while working with parish volunteers and clergy to develop a sustainable ministry that can adapt and expand as the number and ages of participating children grow.

This part-time role, averaging 5-7 hours a week, will involve the planning and leading of engaging, age-appropriate Sunday School lessons each Sunday, adapting lectionary-based resources for a mixed-aged group, the coordination of volunteers and communication with families, and connecting children’s learning with Scripture, the liturgical year and worship.

We are looking for someone who enjoys working with children, builds warm relationships, communicates well, and is comfortable within the Anglican tradition.  Experience in children’s ministry, education, Christian formation, or related fields is an asset, but formal ministry training is not required.

Join us in building a welcoming ministry where children are known, valued and encouraged to grow in faith and participate meaningfully in the life of the church.
