FIRST CHRISTIAN CHURCH - KIDS MINISTRY PASTOR
First Christian Church of Santa Maria (affectionately known as FCC) is a growing, young, and vibrant church on the beautiful Central Coast of California. Known for it’s beaches, incredible landscapes, and its world-class wine regions, the Central Coast is the hidden gem of California. It is also one of the least churched areas in all of the US. According to Barna Research Group, Santa Barbara-Santa Maria- San Luis Obispo has 44% unchurched adults with a whopping 16% never having attended church (ranked 2nd in the nation!)
This creates an amazing opportunity for God to do something incredible through the ministry of FCC. The Kids Ministry Pastor will have the opportunity to help win souls for Jesus before they are lost to the world. If you have the passion, experience, education, and calling to be our next Kids Ministry Pastor, please apply using the link below!
MEET FCC
FCC was founded all the way back in 1882. It was said that a man in jeans and a buttoned up linen shirt (some things never change!) began preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ under a tree in the middle of Santa Maria. That began the First Christian church in our city. Nearly 150 years and two buildings later, we have a beautiful campus with ample space to grow and a vision for reaching the community for the Gospel.
Today, we are a fast-growing, diverse, and authentic community of believers. Our mission is to Love Jesus, Love People, and Go Live It! As a Non-Denominational church, we have people from all walks of the Christian faith. While we hold firm to the truths of Scripture (see our Statement of Faith HERE), we have grace in the non-essentials. On any given Sunday, you will find young families, mature believers, retirees, college students, youth, and of course lots of kids! The opportunity for meaningful ministry abounds and the Kids Ministry Pastor will have the chance to shape young lives for the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
The Central Coast
Santa Maria is located in the middle of the Central Coast of California. Just one hour north of Santa Barbara and 45 minutes south of San Luis Obispo, Santa Maria is perfectly situated to enjoy all that this area has to offer. We are at the heart of the region’s wine country, surrounded by rolling hills, and close to stunning shorelines, and Vandenberg Space Force Base (wait for your first rocket launch!). The Central Coast offers a perfect blend of natural beauty, mild year-round weather, and a relaxed lifestyle. While we are nearly equidistant between San Francisco and Los Angeles, our population is still small by comparison. We may be biased, but we believe there isn’t a more beautiful place in all of California!

At FCC, we work hard and play hard! While we do have a serious job to do, we don’t take ourselves too seriously. We laugh, poke fun, hang out, and enjoy life together as a staff. If you want to join us in ministry, apply today! (Link Below)
