Description
Because God is bringing all things together in Christ, Holy Family Episcopal is church…for people without a church. We keep Jesus at the center of our lives by gathering, listening, responding, feasting, and being sent into ministry.

We specialize in being with God, being with the church, being with the East End, administrating with excellence, and developing church leaders. If you want to belong to a team that does that well every day, this church is a great fit for you.

Our active participants are often known for being creative, curious, and caregivers. If you have experience working with this type of person – or want that experience – this role will be a great fit.

You will love it here if you:

• Give a Damn: Are you personally proud of the way you do your work?

• Co-Create It: Do you build community with others instead of for them?

• Think Ahead: Do you anticipate what’s coming next?

• Make it Beautiful: Do you design with the concept of “less, but better?”

• Make it Easy for Newcomers: Do you design with newcomers in mind?

• Make it Theologically Robust: Do you explicitly orient people towards God?

You’ll love coming to work every day if you get, want, and have the capacity to:

• Prepare for Liturgies: attend a weekly meeting to design liturgies, schedule and roster ministers (paid and volunteer), produce booklets, communicate with weekly ministers.

• Serve in Liturgies: escort processions, assist at the altar, keep stations ready and on time, at all liturgies.

• Develop Leaders: Cultivate leaders amongst volunteers.

• Cultivate & Coördinate Volunteers: Coördinate and supervise the training of all team members on a semi-annual basis including readers, acolytes, eucharistic ministers, and sacristans.

• Manage Expenses: prepare and monitor annual estimated expenses in consultation with the Ministry Operations Director, make approved purchases, submit receipts on time.

• Keep Records: track attendance.

• Maintain the Sacristy: manage inventory, clean & care for items (think back of house).

• Other duties as assigned.

Even if you’ve never coordinated a liturgy in the Episcopal tradition, we can teach you the particularities about this field. If you’re open to learning, we’re looking for you to bring your skills:

• Do you have experience in recruiting volunteers to collaborate on a project?

• Do you have experience in training volunteers to succeed?

• Do you have experience in planning and executing projects or events?

• Do you have a working competency in Apple Pages, Numbers, Keynote?

We train our team to help them succeed, and everyone on our team helps with our success. As a member of this team, you will have a supervisor who:

• Gives clear directions

• Makes sure you have the necessary tools

• Acts with the greater good in mind

• Delegates appropriately

• Takes time to truly understand your role and how you can help the company

• Makes their expectations clear

• Communicates well

• Has effective meetings

• Meets one-on-one with you quarterly or more, if needed

• Recognizes your performance
