Do you love helping kids to grow in faith and building strong families?
We are looking for someone to join our team as our Kids & Families Pastor!

A Role with Real Purpose
It’s one thing to go to work, it’s another to make a real difference. If you’ve found yourself stuck in a cycle of going to work, doing what needs to be done but not seeing a connection between the work and a deep sense of purpose you’re missing out. We are convinced that every person deserves to work in a way that provides real meaning. Could there be a greater purpose than helping kids connect with their Creator? Helping them internalise truths like the fact they are loved, they are purposed, they can make a difference that will stick with them for the rest of their lives. Creating environments where their sense of wonder can be expanded, their curiosity tapped into and their sense of wonder cultivated?
This is a role where your work provides real purpose and will have an impact not just today, tomorrow, next year but for the rest a child’s life, even into the next generation and onto eternity. If you’re passionate about seeing kids connect with God and have a strong desire to see families thrive this could be your dream role.

An Incredibly Empowering Environment
At LifeSwitch our heart is for the Next Generation. This isn’t a token statement we make, but a conviction that runs through how we budget, prioritise and plan. Next Gen ministry isn’t something that happens off to the side but a core part of our church. We know we are biased, but we don’t think there is a better place someone could be involved in kids ministry. From the facilities we have at Silverstream Retreat, we even have our own go-kart track, to the annual camps we run, and the connections we have already established with local schools, the opportunity is right there for someone who wants to lead a world class kids ministry.
Why the Vacancy?
Our current Kids & Families Pastor, Cherene van der Lith, is moving to Brisbane with her family as they have been offered an incredible opportunity over there. Cherene has led in this space for four years and has built a strong foundation, awesome team and opportunities for the next person who steps into this role.
So an opportunity has opened for someone to join our awesome team!
