Community Christian Church (also known as COMMUNITY) is a church that began as the dream of 5 friends from college who wanted to create a place that would help people find their way back to God. Services were first held in a High School cafeteria in 1989, and 8 years later, COMMUNITY launched its first additional location and became one of the pioneers in Multi-site Ministry.
Today COMMUNITY is one church in 4 expressions with 7 physical locations, Online services, Micro Churches, and Community Freedom. At COMMUNITY, we are passionately devoted to Jesus, and deeply committed to helping people find their way back to God.
For 35 years, COMMUNITY has helped tens of thousands of people find their way back to God. We celebrate all of God’s faithfulness as we look to the future with fresh vision for the next 35 years—the best is yet to come. Learn more about COMMUNITY and our vision here.
COMMUNITY'S Downers Grove Location is one of our seven physical locations with a 24/7 and a newly remodeled space and an average weekly attendance of 350 people. With a population of nearly 50,000, Downers Grove is a beautiful community located 22 miles west of Chicago. Convenient access to Chicago via rail and several major expressways make Downers Grove a prime location to live, work and play. Highly ranked schools were a top factor in Downers Grove being named one of the Top 10 Livable Cities for kids by Livability. Downers Grove has also been recognized by Forbes as one of America's Friendliest Towns.
We call our ministry to children and families "Kids’ City". Kids' City helps families find their way back to God by helping parents confidently lead their kids spiritually, teach their kids to live generously, and to live in prayer. We are committed to helping the whole family grow in the three Connections of COMMUNITY: You + God, You + the Church and You + the World.
Kids’ City provides age-appropriate small groups every Sunday during the Adult services. Small groups are where children can grow in their relationship with other kids and adults in the church. In Kids’ City, children have an opportunity to engage in God’s word in exciting and meaningful ways with others and consistent leaders.
Community Christian Church in Downers Grove is looking for a warm, authentic, inspiring, and fun person - someone who believes that a thriving kid's ministry is vital for helping to love and lead kids and families to a transformative connection with God.
The Kids’ City Director should be a spiritually mature visionary leader who is passionate, creative, engaging, detail-oriented, and self-motivated.
The right person has a proven track record of building, motivating, and mobilizing dynamic and thriving teams.
The Kids’ City Director recognizes that helping families find their way back to God requires ministry that extends beyond the weekend experience and is able to champion a vision for reaching and engaging local families and schools.
