Family Ministries Director Needed

Trinity and North Union United Methodist Churches in Van Wert, OH are entering a new era of mission and ministry by forging a strategic partnership, working together to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.  North Union is a rural congregation and Trinity is an in-town, county seat congregation.


Our new partnership is looking to hire a Family Ministries Director who will lead our children, young adult, and adult discipleship ministries.  We are looking for a candidate who will bring excitement and innovation to our congregations in order to grow our struggling discipleship ministries.  While both congregations have vital discipleship with our youth and older members, both have struggled with children’s ministries and with the 25 – 50 age bracket.  With this new partnership, both congregations are willing and able to try new things to attract and disciple children and adults.


Candidate should bring a strong faith, some level of experience and/or education, and have the energy to try new things.  A knowledge of United Methodist theology and polity is a plus.  We envision this position to be 30 hours per week with salary commensurate with education/experience.  This position comes with continuing education funds but no other benefits.

Please submit a resume and cover letter to Pastor Kurt Tomlinson @ krtom14@gmail.com.
