Kidz Coordinator
Who We Are
Pinnacle Church is a place for real people, real questions, and real hope. We're centered on Jesus, passionate about community, and committed to creating a space free of judgment and political agendas, a place for anyone, no matter where they are in their faith journey. We believe every community should have a church that unchurched people love to attend, so we stay outward-facing rather than just insider-focused, paying close attention to what people see, hear, and experience when they walk through our doors.
About the Role
The PC Kidz Coordinator provides relational, strategic, and leadership oversight for our children's ministry environments at Pinnacle Church. PC Kidz serves families with kids from birth through 5th grade, helping kids build a growing relationship with Jesus while partnering with parents as the primary spiritual leaders in their homes.
This is a leadership role, not a primary teaching or design role. The PC Kidz Coordinator develops leaders, builds teams, and creates systems so the ministry thrives through people, not dependence on one individual.
