Our church & Our Community

Brisbane North Oasis (BNO) is a multi-generational, multi-cultural Christian church 7km from Brisbane’s CBD. In a world of busyness our vision is to be an oasis; a community experiencing and spreading God’s life-giving and loving ways. We are Christ-centred, relationship oriented and community focused, because we believe God is relevant to everyone both within and beyond our walls.

We have generously been given the opportunity to create a part time position to enhance our children’s and young families’ ministries. The person in this role will lead and develop our work with primary aged people and below. Working alongside our leadership and a small team, this role will seek to disciple children towards a living relationship with Jesus in a range of contexts from our Sunday morning Oasis Kids programs to school and community activities.

These will be in some measure shaped by the person we appoint but will include:

• Building our Sunday morning Oasis Kids discipleship program so kids love coming
• Developing and leading relationally based community opportunities for children to regularly gather
• Enhancing connections in our local primary school(s)
• Possibly starting a playgroup/young mums’ time
• Supporting and training a team to work alongside you

About you:

A passion for knowing and following Jesus in your own life

A love for kids and their tremendous potential in faith, alongside a desire to inspire that in them

Alignment with our vision, values and missional heart will be critical, as will your willingness to join our community

• Capacity to be part of a team and develop professionally
• Have a current Blue Card and National Police Check
• Hold a current Australian driver’s licence
• Must have the right to live and work in Australia

We have funding for an initial two-year contract, although our intention is for the role to continue long term.  We are committed to finding the right match for us but are open to starting it as soon as we do so.
