Northwest is a vibrant, affirming, and progressive congregation seeking a Sunday School Coordinator who can bring heart, imagination, and leadership to our children & youth ministry.

Who We Are:

• We’re a welcoming and affirming congregation within the United Church of Canada, rooted in Progressive
  Christianity.
• We follow Jesus’ teachings through a lens of justice, compassion, curiosity, and inclusion.
• We believe church should be a safe place for questions, wonder, and growing faith—especially for children & youth.
• Our Sunday School is a space where kids can be themselves, and spiritual exploration is encouraged—not

• Plan and lead engaging, age-appropriate Sunday morning programming for children & youth (approx. JK to Gr12)
• Coordinate volunteers and build a small team of leaders to support weekly programming
• Select or create progressive, inclusive curriculum that reflects our values (we’re open to new ideas!)
• Foster a safe, welcoming space where all children & youth feel seen, loved, and valued
• Work closely with the Minister, Christian Education Committee and leadership to shape a children & youth ministry that reflects our community
• Support special events like Advent/Christmas, Easter, and intergenerational services

What We’re Looking For:

• A love for working with children & youth and nurturing their spiritual growth
• An understanding of or openness to Progressive Christianity and inclusive theology
• Creative energy and excellent communication skills (Musical or drama experience would be a great asset!)
• Experience with children & youth programming, education, or ministry (volunteer or professional)
• Ability to organize and inspire volunteers
• Vulnerable Sector Check (or willingness to obtain)

Why This Role Matters:

You’re not just running a program—you’re shaping the next generation of compassionate thinkers, seekers, and
justice-makers. In a world that’s hungry for kindness, wisdom, and connection, our children & youth ministry matters
more than ever.
