The Latest
Welcome to the latest Scoops. They have been coming in so rapidly and at such a rate lately, it’s rather challenging to keep up. BUT, we love a good challenge. I’d remind you to check the last few posts. With us posting more frequently many of those roles have yet to fill.

TN: The Athens Church of Christ is looking for a full-time Family and Youth Life Minister. They ran 190 to 200 in average attendance prior to the impact of the pandemic. The church has a united eldership, deacons, ministry leaders, and involved parents who are interested in sharing the gospel. The primary responsibility of the role is to oversee the family and youth ministries serving families with children ages birth (nursery) to 18 (12th grade). The expectation would be that the FYM partner with lead parents for children ages birth to 5th grade, and his primary focus will be on youth in the 6th to 12th grades age. The eldership desires that he promote a ministry philosophy that is family-based, both in the sense that the importance of the physical families of the youth are emphasized—to equip parents to work on building faith in and discipling their children at home; along with fostering an inter-generational approach encouraging mature Christians to teach and mentor younger members. Please email resumes to Mark Littleton at marklittleton1@icloud.com.
