CB KiDS Ministry Director

Coppell Bible · Coppell, Texas · Full time with benefits (Salary commensurate with Education and experience)

 An elder-led church of about 500 in Sunday worship across two services, with a staff of eight and a board of nine elders.

Coppell Bible is a Bible church where people come as works in progress and grow together. We teach through Scripture verse by verse, and we are a church of many generations, where young families and seasoned believers serve side by side and know each other by name. We are looking for a children’s ministry director who loves helping kids know Jesus and loves building the teams of volunteers who make that happen every week.

Our mission is to know God personally, follow Jesus together, and share Him with others on a life-giving journey in our community and around the world.

The value our people name first is refreshing authenticity. None of us has arrived, and we extend grace to one another as the ground for real relationships and real change.

Why this role matters

We measure CB KiDS by spiritual growth in children, in parents, and in families more than by attendance or a full calendar. We partner with parents as they disciple their children: our job is to teach kids the story of the Bible on Sunday and send families home with what they need to keep the conversation going during the week.

You will not start from scratch. About 30 volunteers serve on a typical Sunday from a roster of more than 100, our lessons follow The Biggest Story curriculum with a big-group and small-group format, and a team of experienced lay leaders is ready to work alongside you. What we need is a director who will lead that team, grow it, and help it become a ministry that does not depend on any one person.

What you will lead

You will report to the Senior Pastor, take part in our staff meetings and calendar planning, and own the KiDS budget, curriculum, and volunteer structure. The weekly rhythm centers on Sunday morning, with occasional weekday evenings for family events, seasonal programs, and women’s events that need childcare. Fridays and Saturdays are staff days off.

•         Sunday mornings for children from the nursery through fifth grade, including lesson preparation, classroom and big-group leadership, and check-in.

•         Volunteer care: recruiting, training, scheduling, and encouraging the volunteers who serve our kids, and developing leaders who can oversee a group of grades or classrooms.

•         Family discipleship, including the monthly family guides and parent communication that connect Sunday’s lesson to home.

•         Childcare for women’s Bible studies and for family events you plan, such as Parents’ Night Out, including scheduling and supporting our paid childcare workers.

•         Seasonal ministries such as Vacation Bible School and our Christmas program, each led by a volunteer team you equip.

•         Ministry administration, including the budget, supplies, records, and child safety practices.

As your work bears fruit, this role is expected to grow toward family ministry: equipping parents, strengthening marriages, and events that serve the whole family.

What success looks like after your first year

•         Children are learning the story of the Bible and how it points to Jesus, and more parents say they are talking about faith at home.

•         Volunteer leaders oversee groups of grades or classrooms, and new volunteers are trained and welcomed into a team.

•         New families are greeted, followed up with, and connected to other families.

•         Sunday mornings run smoothly and safely, and our volunteers want to keep serving.

•         Other ministry leaders see you as a partner who helps them succeed.

Who we are looking for

•         A growing follower of Jesus with a mature faith who agrees with our Statement of Beliefs at coppellbible.org/values-and-beliefs.

•         Training in Christian education, biblical studies, or Christian leadership, such as an MACE, MABS, MACL, or ThM, or equivalent with ministry experience.

•         Experience recruiting, equipping, and leading volunteer teams.

•         Warmth with children and parents, and the organization to keep a busy Sunday running well.

•         A self-starter who takes ownership, asks for help early, and enjoys people of every generation.

•         Willingness to complete a background check.
