As The River continues to grow and expands our ministry (possibly beginning another service this fall), our staff administrator will continue to grow as the "nerve center" of our staff and congregation helping our team better communicate with one another and the church. If you enjoy creating structure and order where (without you), chaos would reign; if you enjoy helping a team think about how they think; if you enjoy raising up and training volunteers and delegation you'll enjoy being at the center of this amazing staff team.
Our team works very well together (the core of whom have been together for several years). We are not just doing religious work but are seeing ourselves transformed by the Holy Spirit as we link arms in ministry. It feels less like an "institution" and more like a group who are being shaped by Jesus together as we do the work of the ministry.
Primary Responsibilities:
- Assisting the Rector - tasks from interpersonal to administrative.
- Serving the staff
- Attend weekly staff meetings (Tuesdays 2:30-3:30).
- Support various events and programs as needed, often arising from staff meetings.
- Recruiting and overseeing Volunteers.
- Volunteers - Volunteer Scheduling Initial scheduling takes about 0.5, but there is usually some follow-up due to rejected requests or unanswered requests. During
January/February and August/September more time is typically required for follow-up or training due to kick off, adding new volunteers to teams, communicating with team leaders for new people to be trained, etc. Ensuring that volunteers are showing up (and following up with them if they miss) is a must.
- Communication with congregation
- Bulletins - Editing/formatting/printing bulletin inserts. Mainly copy/paste from
eNews, condensing information to better fit the bulletin insert. Coordinate with
volunteer(s) who do folding/stuffing.
- Anglican Church of North America and Diocese of Christ our Hope - helping to
arrange travel, lodging and payment for retreats, submitting annual reports, arranging parish visits for bishops, etc.
- Pastoral events (births, deaths, membership, baptisms, etc.) - Communicating
to staff and congregation re: births, deaths/funerals, sending condolences
(flowers, cards, etc), coordinating gifts for special events.
- Edge Calendar and Scheduling - The time spent on this is largely dependent on how many requests are received that week. Includes checking if the calendar is free, adding events, and sometimes working with groups/individuals to work around scheduling conflicts.
- Various as assigned - assignments related to facilities and maintaining space (The Edge, Church of God), promotions, errands, securing childcare for ongoing and special programs, filing important documents (baptisms, membership, etc); sorting mail and assure sermons are uploaded.
