Houseparent Couple - New Song Mission
Houseparenting Overview: Houseparents at New Song are committed Christ followers who are led by the Lord to care for vulnerable boys and girls. The Houseparenting role is a full-time residential position, where couples provide a safe, loving home to vulnerable children and live out the Christian values among the children, leading lifestyles that model positive, godly character and a daily pursuit of Jesus. Houseparent couples must possess certain personal characteristics unique to this position that will help the kids lead to successfully fulfilling this extremely important calling.
Houseparenting at New Song offers several wonderful blessings, including:
· Helping children become a positive influence on the children's families and communities
· A short one-year commitment
· Growing in your Christian faith
· Receiving training that enhances one's ability to biblically disciple others
· Living on a scenic campus setting in a beautiful, spacious home
· Generous compensation that includes a salary, free room and board, and health care contributions
At New Song, children become equipped for life through compassionate, comprehensive, holistic care. The boys and girls at New Song thrive through biblical discipleship, caring relationships, and academic instruction, leadership training, and other opportunities, by God’s grace. As a ministry team, staff works together to provide the education, experiential learning, social/emotional growth opportunities, recreational experiences, and spiritual mentoring that kids need in order to grow and thrive. Houseparents must have a close walk with Jesus in order to successfully carry out their responsibilities and work in unity with fellow team members.
Collaboration: Houseparents are a part of a broader ministry team, and as such, houseprents must be exceptional team players who have a genuine willingness to serve in areas outside of the normal houseparent roles to assist others on campus when the need arises. This includes tutoring in the classrooms, participating in community activities on campus, and welcoming others such as supporters or those touring the campus into the home with a hospitable, open-door mentality. Houseparents also assist with the ministry’s marketing, communications, and fundraising efforts in various ways.
Duties and Responsibilities: Children at New Song thrive best in an encouraging, structured environment that is safe and predictable. They grow through relationships, and so Houseparents must be able to connect with the children in a personal way. The primary duties and responsibilities of Houseparents are listed below.
