Our Invitation to You: At the Presbyterian church, we are dreamers and doubters, seekers and believers. We don't have all the answers, but we're on a journey together trying to follow Jesus Christ.

HELP WANTED: Coordinator of Education/Family Ministry Part-time Position (10-12 hrs/week) Our vibrant, small congregation blessed with many young families is seeking a committed, creative person to help coordinate educational activities and nurture new, family-based ministry. Our goal is the growth of faithful, loving, service-oriented families able to meet the challenges of the surrounding culture and minister to others in their communities. The coordinator will help achieve this goal by supporting the work of our fine C.E. volunteers/teachers, and by developing innovative resources for family ministry: face-to-face activities, internet possibilities (such as family prayers, blogs, and interactive educational content), and outreach events. Applicants must be able to work collaboratively with C.E. leaders and pastor. Being a self-starter and having good time-managing skills are important. Solid church experience is a must (theological education not required, but a plus). Contact Elder Paula Sutton (christianeducation@burlingtonpres.org) or the church (burlpres@aol.com) for more information. Complete job description available by clicking here.
