Location:
Visalia, California

Description:
KidMin360 Search has partnered with Visalia First Assembly of God, located in beautiful central California, in search of their next Children’s Pastor. This church of 3300+ (weekend attendance) has a rich history of growth, solid leadership and outreach to the community. That history continues today under the leadership of Pastor Robertson, who says “we’re a church for the community!” and wants to meet that goal by not only engaging the community outside the walls of the church, but also provide a high “wow” factor in everything they do within the walls of the church. The church is committed to engaging people by asking them to participate in two experiences per week. First, engage in worship with the church body. Second, engage in another smaller community experience (small group, bible study, etc.) during the week. They truly believe that the lives of those who will engage for one year will be changed forever.
