POSITION: ADMINISTRATION & COMMUNICATIONS ASSISTANT

Summary

The Administrative & Communications Assistant works closely with the Pastor to support the ongoing ministry of First Mennonite Church and to assist Church Council. This person will maintain confidentiality regarding any information shared between them, the Pastor, and Church Council. As a member of the church staff, this person is accountable to the Pastor and Church Council.

First Mennonite Church is a vibrant congregation and part of the Anabaptist tradition. We seek to follow Jesus in community, emphasizing discipleship, peace, service, and faithful witness in everyday life. Because this role helps support and communicate the ministry of the church—both internally and publicly—the communications responsibilities are understood to be an extension of the church’s witness.

• Two full days per week, or

Work hours will typically fall within regular church office hours:

Tuesday–Friday, 9:00 AM–12:00 PM and 1:00 PM–4:00 PM
