Position Opening: Director of Religious Education
First Unitarian Society of Schenectady, NY

The First Unitarian Society of Schenectady (FUSS) is seeking an experienced, full-time Director of Religious Education beginning July 1, 2008. FUSS has a healthy, thriving religious education program for children and youth with strong commitments to integrating spiritual growth and learning with social justice action. While we are extraordinarily proud of our youth's commitment to social justice in the wider community, we are also keenly aware that the growth and vibrancy of the community as a whole depends on strong spiritual growth and faith development across the generations, for all ages and stages. Therefore we seek to transform ourselves into a congregation that fully realizes its goals of lifespan religious education administered through shared ministry. We seek a dedicated, passionate and professional Director of Religious Education to lead us in this transformation. For more information, see our detailed Job Description.
