Movement Church is a non-denominational Christian Church located in Newport, Kentucky. Weekly attendance varies between 35 and 55 adult attendees and between 20 and 30 children/adolescents. Programming is divided between Movement Youth (6th to 12th Grade) and Movement Kids (5th grade and below). Movement Church is seeking a part time (20 hours/week) Youth Minister/Children’s Ministry Organizer. Compensation would be $22 - $25 per hour based on experience.

Candidates would be responsible for coordinating and leading a weekly discipleship group for adolescents between grades 6 and 12 (Movement Youth). This includes organizing content, recruiting volunteers, and primary teaching responsibilities.

Candidates for this position would also be responsible for preparing and organizing Movement Kids on Sunday Mornings. Movement Church uses Lifeway’s Gospel Project curriculum, so the content of the program is already developed. The weekly tasks associated with this portion of the job include ensuring that volunteers are scheduled and all materials are purchased, organized, and ready for volunteers on Sunday mornings. While the expectation is not for the candidate to be responsible for teaching every Sunday morning, they will serve as a volunteer teacher for the 1st - 5th grade classroom on rotation to help establish relationships with the kids that will graduate into Movement Youth.
