Now Hiring: Office Administrator Role Supports Ministry in Scottsdale Congregation

North Scottsdale United Methodist Church is hiring a full-time Office Administrator, offering a starting salary of $55,000 with health insurance, retirement benefits, paid time off, and a flexible schedule. This in-person position, based in Scottsdale, AZ, plays a vital role in supporting the congregation’s communication, operations, and overall ministry effectiveness. Applications are being accepted through Indeed.

At its core, this role is about connection—ensuring that information flows clearly, people feel welcomed, and ministry happens smoothly. The Office Administrator serves as a central hub for communication, managing weekly worship bulletins, email systems, and digital tools such as Planning Center and MailChimp. The position also includes creating worship presentations, maintaining accurate member records, and supporting volunteer coordination.

In addition to communications, the role oversees daily office operations—greeting visitors, managing supplies, coordinating mail, and maintaining organized systems that support staff and ministry leaders. The Office Administrator also plays a key role in calendar management, facility scheduling, and administrative coordination, ensuring meetings, events, and congregational life are well-supported and clearly communicated.

This position requires strong organizational and communication skills, experience with office systems and databases, and the ability to manage multiple priorities independently. A professional, welcoming presence and a commitment to supporting the church’s mission are essential. The role includes occasional evening or weekend availability and requires maintaining confidentiality and passing a background screening in accordance with Safe Sanctuaries practices.

For those called to support ministry through administration, this role reflects a broader theological truth: the work of the church depends not only on what happens in worship, but also on the faithful, often unseen systems that sustain community. As Paul reminds us, “there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit” (1 Corinthians 12). Administrative leadership is one of those gifts—essential for building up the body of Christ.
