Part-time Director of Children’s Ministry

Lebanon Baptist Church
Part-time Director of Children’s Ministry
Lebanon, KY
Lebanon Baptist Church, a Southern Baptist Church, is searching for an individual whom God
has chosen to lead our Children’s Ministry. We are small, multi-generational congregation that
has been in existence for over 100 years. In that history, our flock has ebbed and flowed, yet
never lost the desire to share the gospel with all. Our loving and motivated congregation needs a
dynamic individual to lead the Children’s Ministry. Practical experience in creating, organizing
and administering Children’s Ministries is desired, but the church would consider offering the
position to an intern. It would be an excellent opportunity for an intern to gain valuable
experience administration and leadership as well as giving the individual an opportunity to make
a long-term impact for God. This position is expected to require an average of 10 hours per
week. If you are ready to roll up your sleeves and work for God, please mail your resume to
Craig Dunbar, Pastor, Lebanon Baptist Church, 144 East Mulberry Street, Lebanon, KY 40033,
