Director of Religious Education (DRE), Permanent / Part-Time
Posted: 18 July 2010 –
Position Filled: 16 August 2010
All Saints' Episcopal Church has filled the position of experienced DRE for 15 hour a week
for 10 months of the year (August 15th to June 15th).
A successful DRE will be a self motivated individual who participates on our ministry team
as we seek to deepen our formation programs for children. We understand Christian formation
as a lifelong process of growing in relationship with God, self, others and all creation.
In doing so, we seek to enhance our nurturing of all children, to minister to them, as well
as to be ministered by them.
The DRE will be responsible for:
- administration and programming of our Sunday School, nursery, and intergenerational family activities
- provide training, curriculum support, and administrative expertise as s/he works with our volunteer teachers, adult leaders, the Rector and other All Saints' staff
- integrate the children programs with the life, worship and ministries of the whole parish
- administrate our Safe Church program and CORI checks
Currently, the DRE will not be responsible for youth programming; however, this might be
added in the future. Hours are flexible but will include Sunday mornings and some time
on site during the week.
Qualifications:
- Experience leading and coordinating Christian formation programs for children
- College degree or commensurate experience in a related field
- Knowledge and understanding of teaching and learning practices including different ways of learning and faith formation
- Strong organizational, interpersonal and communication skills
- Ability to work collegially
- Proven ability to recruit, train and support volunteer teachers and group leaders
- Familiarity and appreciation of the Episcopal Church, its practices and traditions
- Knowledge and training in Montessori-based programs such as Catechesis of the Good Shepherd or Godly Play
- Knowledge of Journey 2 Adulthood is a plus
