Christian Life Centre

Kidzone Pastor\Admin – September 2017

Rationale

Christian Life Centre (CLC) is a growing, vibrant, progressive and Christ centered church in the town of Ajax, ON whose mission is to equip people for the work of the ministry. It is our passion to “Discover LIFE Together”. This involves reaching lost souls for Christ, discipling people towards maturity, and fostering meaningful and intentional community in the process. The children of CLC need this also. They need someone who will speak their language, and also lead them to Christ, maturing them and setting them up for a lifelong relationship with Christ as adults. They need someone who will show them how to live out their faith in such a way that the world is naturally attracted to it.

It is our expectation that the Kidzone Pastor\Admin (KPA) will have a passion and burden for children, have administrative skills, and will be able to work fluidly within the context of this multicultural setting. It is our hope and belief that the children who are ministered to at CLC will grow and thrive spiritually and be a driving presence for Christ in both the church and secular community.

Accountability

Understanding our first accountability to Christ who is the Head of the Church, the Kidzone Pastor\Admin will be directly accountable to the CLC Lead Pastor, and will be expected to be wholly committed to CLC’s vision and leadership.
