The position will focus particularly on building connections with people who do not identify with a faith tradition, including young adults. St. John’s defines outreach as helping members develop relationships of trust and care with others so that people may strengthen their relationship with God through Christ.
Working alongside congregational leaders, the Outreach Coordinator will help implement St. John’s vision for ministry by:
Developing new methods, programs, and systems for outreach.
Equipping and supporting lay leaders in relationship-building ministries.
Strengthening connections through ministries such as Critical Needs, Shower Ministry, and Heat Respite.
Building relationships with students and staff at local college campuses.
Participating in weekly staff meetings and sharing outreach messages during worship services on a regular basis.
Candidates should demonstrate strong communication and organizational skills, experience working with volunteers and ministry teams, and a passion for engaging those who may not currently be connected to a faith community. Experience working with young adults is especially valued.
Compensation ranges from $18,000 to $26,000 annually, depending on education and experience.
Those interested in applying or learning more are encouraged to send resumes and inquiries to pastor@stjchurchaz.org.
As congregations across the Grand Canyon Synod seek new ways to share the gospel and build meaningful relationships in their communities, this opportunity offers a chance to help shape innovative outreach ministry grounded in Christ’s call to love and serve our neighbors.
