We are need of someone to help lead and integrate our current childcare program into the ministry of the church, to help make it a ministry and not a program or business. The director position would oversee the Childcare Program of 84 children and 14 teachers/aids in order to create an environment where God’s love is not only taught but felt by the children and their parents. The individual would help coordinate and develop a healthy ministry partnership with and through the church to create a harmonious and unified ministry.

About Grand Junction First Church of the Nazarene
Grand Junction Church sits in a community where there is a desperate need for childcare but in an environment where many are struggling financially and many parents are single mothers. Grand Junction is rapidly growing because of the wide array of outdoor activities, climate and activities for younger individuals and couples. Grand Junction Nazarene wants to find where God is already at work in the city and partner with Him in His mission. We believe it involves children and their parents and so the church is actively seeking ways to make this a healthy and productive reality. Our childcare program started almost 12 years ago but has grown in the last few years.
