Associate Pastor of Family Ministries

Red Cedar Church is seeking a full-time associate pastor of family ministry to provide pastoral leadership for the children, students and families of the church. This position will oversee ministries from birth through high school, with particular attention given to equipping parents and volunteers to participate faithfully in the discipleship of the next generation. The person who fills this role should be deeply rooted in Scripture, committed to making disciples and eager to help families cultivate Christ-centered faith both in the home and within the life of the church. The associate pastor will not be expected to carry every responsibility alone but will instead build and support ministry teams, organize ministry efforts and encourage the congregation to invest in children and students. In addition, he will assist the senior pastor in the broader shepherding work of the church through teaching, pastoral care and ministry support.
