Part-Time Elementary Coordinator
Helping children find and follow Jesus Christ
If you have a passion for children and enjoy working with a fun ministry team, then Fellowship Bible Church is the place for you! We are looking for a joyful individual who wants to see children established in their faith on a transforming journey with Christ. Our ideal new team member is relational, flexible, and team-oriented.
Who We Are
In 1997, God began a new work in Topeka through a few families. At that time, the Fellowship family met in various school auditoriums. In 2000, 70 people sacrificed to build the previous facility at 17th and Indian Hills. Eight years later, Fellowship built again, and we are in the current facility at 10th and Urish. Fellowship’s mission is to help people find and follow Jesus Christ, our vision is to see transformed lives leaving a godly legacy, and our values are God, His Word, and people.
Work Environment
Children’s Ministry at Fellowship Bible Church is a joyful and fast-paced environment where we strive together as a team to help children find and follow Jesus Christ. We work together with the Family Ministry Team and alongside the entire Fellowship staff team to encourage and support one another and to live out faith authentically as we each grow in our relationship with the Lord and develop as a leader. We encourage growth that will challenge, encourage, and refresh staff personally, as well as the respective ministries of involvement.
