Children, Youth, and Family Ministry Job Posting
The Church of the Holy Trinity is seeking a Children, Youth, and Family Minister to join our ministry team.​
​​​
Background
The Anglican Church of the Holy Trinity, White Rock, BC is growing. We are ready to make an investment in the spiritual formation of our congregation by hiring a Children, Youth and Families minister. We are looking for a creative individual who will share our vision and be committed to the growth of our CYF ministry and the spiritual development of our congregation.
​
Our parish is liturgically traditional. We encourage children and families to participate in worship as we believe the best formation for our young people is to engage in the liturgy. Youth are invited to serve as acolytes on Sunday mornings, at our Evensong services, and at solemn masses throughout the year.
Once a month we offer a “Family Sunday” during which children and youth read the lessons in church and a children’s sermon is offered. On other Sundays, we offer a worship option called “Children’s Chapel” during which the children hear a children’s sermon, learn, pray, and play together.
