leading the church's many efforts to serve children and youth,
working also with the pastor, teams of adult leaders, and session.

what the particulars of the job can entail. Generally speaking,
however, the associate director is expected to be skilled at:
engaging in relationships with children and youth,
administratively leading particular programs,
leading creative programs as the actual instructor.

gatherings/outings on Sundays, Friday evening youth group, three
Harambee small groups meeting on Thursday night, varied programs on

the school year, there are also occasional overnights and special
trips.

understood that the associate director will have a primary role in
Sunday Christian education and related special gatherings. The

likely one for youth and one for children.

After-school programming stops during the summer, but Teen Crib and
Summer Meals Program operate. It is expected that the associate
