Kids Pastor/Director

About The Vision

The Kids Pastor/Director (5K-5th grade) at First City Church fulfills a key ministry leadership role that supports the church’s vision to reach the next generation. This person will both give primary leadership to Kids Ministry at the Alpharetta location and cast vision to equip and coach Kids Ministry staff at other locations (one for now in Hickory Flat).

This person will be an experienced Children’s Ministry leader with an engaging and joyful leadership style, a passion for leading children to Christ, a commitment to intentional discipleship of children, and an eagerness to engage elementary kids and families in the community and on school campuses.

About The Church

First City Church is a church that is biblically faithful, committed to gospel sharing, relationally driven, and highly engaged in their community. This 120-year-old church is now experiencing a season of revitalization and rapid growth. At the heart of everything is the mission: to lead people to Know Jesus, Discover Hope, Experience Family, and Live Sent in pursuit of a Jesus-centered life.

In September, the church launched its “Multiply” initiative which aims to purchase land for the Hickory Flat campus, begin a Thursday evening service at the Alpharetta campus, plant ten churches in ten years, and increase their emphasis on sharing Christ and baptizing new believers.
