- Take on additional projects as assigned
What We’re Looking For
- A growing, active relationship with Jesus Christ
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
- Collaborative, team-oriented, and energized by serving others
- Self-motivated with a strong work ethic and the ability to manage multiple projects at once
- Organized and detail-oriented, with a knack for keeping things on track
- Comfortable with technology and project management tools (e.g., Microsoft Teams, AI platforms)
- Able to maintain confidentiality and exercise sound discretion
- Event planning or coordination experience is an asset
- Willing to travel domestically and to occasionally work evenings or weekends for events and retreats
Details
