About this role:

Triangle Chinese Alliance Church (TCAC) (https://trianglecac.org/) is a thriving and growing Alliance Church that is currently seeking a Youth/Children Pastor to help promote and fulfill the mission of TCAC within our youth and children ministries. This mission includes: 1) a Local Perspective, which involves evangelizing to the Chinese community in the Research Triangle Park in North Carolina, as well as living a Gospel-centered life in our homes, workplaces, and communities, 2) a Kingdom Perspective, which involves evangelizing to Chinese intellectuals, students, and scholars, as well as equipping the next generation to become future leaders for the Kingdom of God.

We have a thriving youth and children ministry, with a dedicated team of 7+ volunteers who are devoted to God and passionate about helping to disciple children and young people. Our youth/children group has separate Sunday worship and Sunday school services, except one combined worship service each month. Additionally, they meet weekly on Friday nights for fellowship, beginning with an evening of worship, Bible teaching, and small group discussions. This group is the youngest in our church, but certainly not the least; they are actively serving the local community though the Food Bank, Back-to-School Backpack, and Christmas Shoe Box initiatives, and serving the church body through Sunday worship teams, Bible storytelling presentations, and various church-wide events preparations. We highly value parents as the primary disciple makers and are looking for our Youth/Children Pastor to leverage this resource, encouraging and partnering with parents.
