OPPORTUNITY FOR THE PRESCHOOL MINISTER AT FONDREN CHURCH
Young families are a core part of Fondren Church. Located in the vibrant, eclectic heart of Jackson, our church is a thriving community where families plant roots, grow, and flourish. The Preschool Minister at F/C has the huge opportunity to serve children from birth to 5 years old and their families as they find faith in Jesus and grow to express it in love.
We are prayerfully seeking a new Preschool Minister to lead this vital ministry into its next season of growth. After 8 years of leading our ministry to children, our current Preschool Minister is transitioning into a part-time role in a different ministry within the church.
We are expectant of a person who is as passionate about partnering with parents as they are about discipling children—a leader who is ready to build, innovate, and thrive within a community that values deep relationships and intentional, Gospel-centered discipleship. Our Preschool Minister will aim to make disciples of children through a caring, relational ministry style. The ability to connect with both children and parents will be essential toward that ultimate goal. As such, this person must be an effective, followable, welcoming leader who is able to build and grow a Preschool Ministry. This leader should be authentic and highly relational with their teams and ministry. A degree of administrative skill is necessary to oversee and coordinate the ministry.
Our location, growing number of young families, reputation of a “great children’s ministry”, devoted volunteer teams, and vision to be “In the City. For the City” give the Preschool Minister an incredible opportunity to impact our city, our congregation, and this generation to experience and respond to the Good News of Jesus Christ. The Preschool Minister oversees our Nursery (8 week olds-2’s), Preschool (3 to 5-year-olds), and Special Needs Preschool ministry programs.

"the only thing that counts is faith expressed in love"
About eleven and a half years ago, a group of people met at Brent’s Drugs, a landmark and now a Fondren restaurant, to plant what would be Fondren Church. This would be a church rooted in a historic, yet vibrant part of Jackson that has seen an urban revival in recent years. Like many church plants, we soon moved into a non-traditional facility having rented space at Duling Hall Auditorium, a historic school that had been converted to a concert venue. For over three years, Duling Hall served Fondren Church well attracting a diverse crowd with its unconventional meeting space. As the church grew, the need for more space in a more permanent home became readily apparent. In 2014, Fondren partnered with Woodland Hills Baptist Church to share space in a beautiful facility with a gym on the campus. Situated directly behind Duling Hall, the new facility provided more space for family ministries, gathering spots, and an 800-seat auditorium. No time was wasted in remodeling and updating spaces. Ultimately, a wonderful job was done of merging modern design with traditional architecture creating a truly interesting and inviting space to worship. In May 2020, Fondren Church became sole owners of the entire campus and has accelerated additional renovations throughout the campus. Fondren Church likes to describe itself as “a non-denominational church with stained-glass windows” because the church honors the past with great hope for the future. On the weekends, Fondren Church hosts two worship services at 9:30AM and 11:00AM in the main Sanctuary. Today, Fondren Church continues to be led by its founding pastor, Robert Green. Originally from Mississippi, Robert spent years in southern California and south Florida before returning to minister in his home state at Pinelake Church and eventually planting Fondren Church. He is an engaging communicator and teacher with a heart for people permeating everything he does. Under Robert’s leadership, the church has seen much growth over th
