Job Description

About the Church

Midland First United Methodist Church, founded in 1857, is nestled in the heart of downtown Midland, Michigan. The church places a high priority on following Jesus’s command to love your neighbor and shows this love by remaining actively involved in the surrounding community. First United Methodist Church is an intergenerational church where congregation members become like family.

About the Ministry

The children’s ministry serves babies through fifth graders each Sunday morning. Children begin with their families in the worship service and leave together after the children’s blessing to attend Sunday School. Here, the children join together to enjoy varied opportunities to engage with the lectionary-based curriculum.

The youth ministry is in a rebuilding phase. With abundant physical space and devoted volunteers, families are eager to watch the youth ministry develop a critical mass as students grow in faith and impact the Midland community.

The Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate will be an experienced team builder who will come alongside faithful ministry volunteers and recruit others to join the team. This person will nurture relationships with children, youth, and families to develop a cohesive, fun discipleship ministry that thrives within the life and mission of the congregation.

Key Responsibilities

  • Plan and implement ministries that include opportunities for fun, connection, worship, Christian education, mission, and spiritual growth

  • Work with teams and staff to integrate children and youth ministries into the church’s broader life

  • Recruit, train, and support volunteers for children and youth ministries

  • Facilitate clear, consistent communication with families  

Qualifications

  • Love God, children, and youth, and have spiritual gifts to share

  • A sense of calling to ministry with children, youth, and families

  • A foundational understanding of Scripture, Christian faith, and United Methodist theology

  • Knowledge of child and youth development with an openness to each person’s individuality, background, abilities, and needs

  • Demonstrated ability to be a self-starter and lead teams through instilling trust, inspiring others, good organization, clear communication, and flexibility
