Now Hiring: Children’s Ministry Director

Christ Our Hope is seeking a new children’s ministry director who has a passion for serving children and their families and will be able to coordinate our existing children’s ministry program while expanding our offerings to support the growing needs of our church. The primary focus will be on Sunday morning offerings for our children, but there is also an opportunity to think creatively about how to integrate children in the life of our church.

About Our Church

Christ Our Hope is a multigenerational congregation that has been serving Fort Collins and the surrounding community since 2004. Our mission is to make disciples of Christ as we gather around the table—whether that gathering is around the Lord’s table when we gather on Sunday mornings or in smaller settings in our homes and in the community. We believe that children have a place at each of these tables, and that giving them a foundation in the faith is an essential part of our calling.

Just over 100 people typically attend on a typical Sunday morning, and we have over 30 children for whom Christ Our Hope is their primary church.

We are part of the Anglican Diocese of the Rocky Mountains and the Global Fellowship of Confessing Anglicans (GAFCON).
