Religious Instruction – Wilston State School

Grange Baptist Church are eagerly seeking volunteer teachers in order to reboot the RI programme at Wilston State School.
 
As an unchurched kid, the first time I can remember hearing the gospel was from Mr Frisbee in grade 7 CRI (Christians Religious Instruction) at my state primary school. That led to a conversation at home with my backslidden step dad, which brought us to church occasionally where more of the gospel came my way, which brought me to repentance and faith in Jesus at 16. Needless to say, I reckon that if schools are inviting us in to teach God’s word to the kids, and 70% of the Wilston State School parents are opting them in (which they are), then that’s an opportunity not to let slip by us easily.
 
But we need volunteer teachers in order to pull it off.
 
Classes are likely to start from term 2, and they are weekly, on Fridays, from 2-3pm. Teachers typically teach two 30-minute classes, back to back, of the same age group, and so are repeating the same content. The syllabus is via the Sydney Anglicans and is solid, and training is provided. 
 
If you think you can help us out by either 1) being a teacher yourself, or 2) putting out an announcement at your church or Bible college, I’d love to hear from you!
 
With love in Christ,

Christ Community

Generations Leader (Job Description)

Christ Community Church was planted in 2004 with the purpose of living to enjoy and declare the wonders of God’s grace in Christ for the good of Brisbane, Australia and the world. To see this come to fruition, by God’s enablement, our mission is to Mobilise Disciple Makers. That is, we desire to see God use us so that Gospel transformation will be multiplied across generations and locations.

Our church meets on Sunday mornings at QAMSAT in Toowong with 260 people regularly attending. This includes over 100 children, the majority of these are under 10. We are a member of the FIEC (Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches).

Currently our church is organised into four ministry sections.

• Gather (we Gather together to celebrate Jesus’ victory over sin and death)
• Grow (we Grow together in love for Christ and one another)
• Go (We Go together for the sake of Christ and the World)
• Generations (We enjoy and declare Christ so that the Generations would Gather, Grow and Go)

Further information about our beliefs and values can be found at our website.

While the Gather, Grow and Go Sections provide an overall pathway towards knowing, growing and serving Jesus; the Generations Section focusses on children, youth, and stages of life ministries.

We are looking for someone on a full-time basis to fill the role of Generations Leader.

Opportunity before the Generations Section

These are some of the opportunities before Christ Community Church in the Generation Section. We hope that these opportunities will captivate the heart of the successful applicant.

The Next Generation

There are over 100 children who are regularly a part of our church. The majority of these are under 10. On top of this, 20 or so youth (10 years +) regularly gather in small discipleship groups to be invested in each week. We are looking for someone to support and lead ministry teams that declare the wonders of God’s grace to our children and youth in the hope that our children are captivated by God’s love, eager to learn His truth, and are established as active partners within the body of Christ. We long to see dozens of baptisms and confirmations among our church kids in the coming years.

Reaching the Lost

We hope to help the thousands of children and youth in our local community with the good news of Jesus. We currently partner with other local churches (notably St Lucia Bible Church) to reach more youth. In the coming years, a Generations Leader will help us plant our own Friday Night Youth Group to reach more youth in our local area. The Generations Leader will also have responsibility over our already established annual Kids Holiday Club for primary school kids. These, along with possible new initiatives are designed to both help our church kids grow, and also invite and include other kids to hear and respond to the Gospel. We long to see dozens of baptisms of kids and youth who are not yet a part of our church in the coming years.

Making Disciples

Parents are the primary disciple-makers of their children. A Generations Leader will help us envision and equip parents to bring up their children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, while being sensitive to all those who are part of our church family, including those who are single and/or without children. We hope to foster a culture where our children know they are loved and valued by our whole church family. We long for all parents to be passionate and equipped to disciple their children, and for our whole church community to assist parents in the Christian nurture of their children.

Intergenerational Community

Our church values the different perspectives, gifts, energy, and wisdom evident in people at different stages of life. The Bible gives us a model of more mature believers investing and encouraging those who are younger in the faith. There is therefore opportunity to enable those with experience and wisdom to pass that on to help others through new life transitions. For example, the Generations Leader will help encourage and put in place ways where singles are upheld, marriages are supported, new graduates are mentored, and new parents are cared for. We long to be a church where we help one another through the challenges of life, so that God would be glorified.

One Generation declaring God to the Next

Our church has dozens of young adults involved or graduated from our Uni Impact ministry. This provides an incredible opportunity for young adults to be mobilised to reach the next generation. The Generations Leader will help envision and equip young adults, and our whole church to reach the next generation. We long to be a church where labourers are mobilised and multiplied to declare God’s grace in Christ to the next generation.

Role Description

The successful applicant will be a Christian man or woman who lives to enjoy and declare the wonders of God’s grace in Christ. He or she will be faithful, teachable, interdependent, and humble.

The right person is more important to us than being a complete fit for the role. We are happy to tailor the role to some degree to suit the attributes and abilities of the successful candidate. However, the following provide an overview of some of the expectations of the role:

• Collaborate with Senior Pastor and senior leaders to envision our church, particularly advocating for reaching the Next Generation.
• Responsible for implementing the vision and strategy for the Next Generation Ministry Section.
• Recruit, train, and support leaders so that they can humbly and ably serve.
• Show pastoral sensitivity towards parents and be able to envision and equip them to disciple their children.
• The ability to relate well with all ages and stages of life. Particularly being able to teach, admonish, and encourage children and youth in both smaller and larger groups.
• Depending upon the willingness, attributes and capacity of the successful applicant, there could be a preaching element to the role, however this is not essential to the role.

Attributes for the role

Each staff member at Christ Community Church is called to grow and serve out of Conviction, Character and Competence.

Conviction

• Hold to and explain the Gospel of Grace
• Explain why Scripture is powerful, trustworthy and transformative
• Explain the big story of the Bible (Biblical Theology)
• Encourage joy/diligence in relationship with God

• Encourage the Team
  • Be subject and loyal to leadership
  • Respond to conflict in love
  • Humbly respond to feedback
  • Trustworthy with responsibilities
  • Support others to flourish for the sake of the Kingdom

Competence

Our expectations of competence will vary depending upon the existing gifts and passions of the staff member, and the opportunities available. The post would suit someone who has some ministry experience (not necessarily in a paid capacity); likewise theological education would be helpful but is not a requirement. The following are attributes that are needed for the role:

• Demonstrated ability/experience to create and implement strategy to achieve our church vision
• Demonstrated ability/experience to envision, coach, support and equip leaders-of-leaders
• Demonstrated ability/experience to help others grow in godliness

Darebin Presbyterian Church

Could you be a new member of our Staff Team?

Part-time position at Darebin Presbyterian Church, initial focus on children’s and youth with opportunities in other areas

Could you be the right person to join the staff team at Darebin Presbyterian Church (DPC)? You would partner with us in discipling the people in our church and reaching out to our community with the gospel. We currently have two full-time pastors and we hope that you could expand that paid staff team.

We are a growing church in Melbourne’s inner north with a large number of children and youth. We want to empower parents to be the primary disciplers of their children, but we also want to play our role in helping children to feel warmly welcomed in our church, to meaningfully participating in church life, to engage with God’s Word in age-appropriate ways, and to come to a deep and growing trust in Christ. Our many volunteers serving in children’s and youth ministries do a wonderful job, but they would benefit from a leader who can envision, support, train, and guide them.

Therefore, you would have an initial focus in children’s and youth ministries to enable them to flourish. You will need to have a heart for children and youth and a solid biblical and theological knowledge so as to choose a teaching curriculum that is suitable for the children at DPC.

While your initial focus will be in children’s and youth ministry, we hope that you will become a long-term member of our staff team and can explore other DPC ministry opportunities over time.

To this end, we are offering a 3 day per week position with 2 days per week focused in children’s and youth ministry and 1 day per week focused in mission ministries. While we believe reaching the lost for Christ is an area we particularly need more assistance in, we would be willing to discuss with you alternate options for this 1 day per week such as pastoral care, discipleship or training.

A typical week for you could involve checking in with volunteers as they prepare lessons for Sunday or our church service’s kids spot, attending a staff meeting, planning a training event, preparing resources with the pastors to help families grow in faith together, and participating directly in children’s and youth ministry when possible.

You can find more details in the full position description here or at www.darebinpc.com.au/serve.

We look forward to receiving your application!
