Associate for Family Ministry (Lay or Ordained)

The Church of the Holy Comforter (CHC) is seeking an Associate for Family Ministry. The Church of the Holy Comforter is a thriving Episcopal Church in Kenilworth, Illinois. Those looking to join their team should be detail-oriented, curious, and passionate about collaboration. Candidates must be comfortable working with adults within the parish as well as young children in our preschool, and leading families to deepen their personal faith.

The Associate for Family Ministry will support the ministry team with various programmatic, administrative, and strategic responsibilities, including Sunday School, family pastoral support, relationship building with our community, and serving as a bridge between the Church and the families in our All Things Bright & Beautiful preschool. The Associate for Family Ministry will work closely with the clergy team, the vestry, and the parent leadership to facilitate the long-term success of our mission. Central to the program at Holy Comforter is the idea that children participating in our community are encouraged to grow into the truest versions of themselves, rather than being shaped into any particular perspective. View a detailed job description.

Holy Comforter is considering both ordained and lay applicants for this full-time position. Ordained applicants can expect to be compensated in line with the Diocese of Chicago’s guidelines for clergy. Lay salaries start at $60,000, not including robust pension and healthcare plans. Pay over that mark may be offered commensurate with experience and with attention to academic qualifications. To apply, please email the Rev. Heath Howe and copy our Youth Minister. Please include your resume and a one-page cover letter detailing why you’d be a good fit for CHC.
