JOB POSTING (hellipAND EXPLANATION)

Lake Orion United Methodist Church seeks a part-time Family Ministry Associate Director for our ministries to children and students from birth through 12th grade and their families The position requires strong administrative skills a passion for relating with and serving families and good technical skills (media) with a desire to learn Must possess an open and inclusive spiritualty Resumes may be submitted to larrywiklakeorionumcorg

When the above posting went out last month there was some initial confusion from some in the congregation So we wanted to make sure that all our LOUMC family understands what is going on

For some time we have known that Donna Waite our full-time Childrenrsquos Ministries Director was going to be retiring come February of 2016 We have been strategizing ever since as to how to address our programming and staffing needs going forward The decision was made to alter Aaron Grossrsquos position from Youth Director to Family Ministries Director giving him primary oversight over both youth and childrenrsquos ministries and then to hire a Family Ministry Associate Director who will be part-time to work alongside him

Aaron will still be hands on with the Youth program and the Associate Director will have more hands on responsibility with children ministries but overall the programs will be more unified in terms of leadership and philosophy Donna has been working with Aaron already to implement some of the shifts in programming beginning this Fall

We would encourage you if you have any interest in the position to submit a resume to or at least have a conversation with Pastor Larry Any further questions can also be directed to Pastor Larry

YOUTH MINISTRY NEWS
