The Coordinator supports the mission of GSCC by helping create a safe, nurturing, and Christ-centered environment where children are introduced to the love of God through Bible stories, Christian songs, prayer, activities, relationships, and everyday examples of Christian character.
PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITIES
The Christian Education Coordinator will: Develop and deliver age-appropriate Christian lessons for infants, toddlers, three-year-olds, and four-year-olds/Pre-K. Develop weekly and monthly Christian education themes using Bible stories, songs, prayer, Scripture, activities, and visual aids. Teach foundational Christian values including love, kindness, forgiveness, gratitude, sharing, compassion, service, and respect for others. Connect Christian lessons to children's everyday choices, relationships, and behaviors. Provide classroom teachers with weekly themes, songs, activities, and simple ideas for reinforcing lessons throughout the week.
