LOCAL CONTEXT
The Well is a non-denominational missional church in Brighton Michigan. We seek to be theologically conservative while maintaining our relevance in the culture around us. We have 2 weekend worship gatherings on Sundays at 9:30 and 11:00 AM. The Well exists to help people hear from God and boldly respond. We believe that the church does not exist to develop programs but to make disciples. As a result, the Director of Next Generation Ministries sees developing programs as a means to developing disciples within a family context.

Additional Thoughts
Although the primary function of the Next Generation Ministry leader is to oversee the children and student ministries of The Well, this needs to be realized through the lenses of leadership multiplication. As a result this position will play a key role in the disciple development strategy for the entire church seeing parents as the primary disciple makers of their children.
COMPENSATION
This is a full-time position (40 hours a week).
Salary and benefits are established by qualifications and experience.
The Well is a missional church located in Brighton Michigan. We believe that missional is not a program but rather the result of building a discipling culture within the church. Missional for The Well means that each person who claims to follow Christ is living on mission to make the kingdom of God tangible in all areas of their life. With this in mind, we the leaders of The Well understand that we must maintain a low control and high accountability attitude toward ministry. If we are developing disciples to listen to and follow God's call in their life, it is our job to not control that call but to empower people to following that call.
