Job Description

Job Summary

The EOD will play a critical role in shaping how a large, multi-faceted church and its K–8 Christian academy function at a high level—financially, operationally, and organizationally—so that our pastors can remain focused on shepherding and ministry.

• 5. Ministry Enablement: You will make ministry easier to execute and scale. Provide ministry leaders with the infrastructure needed to succeed (budgeting, logistics, contracts).
