Job Description

I've had some questions about what I actually do here.  I will do my best to describe it concisely!

Basically, my job is to help people get connected/involved with the church by forming relationships with them. I have some office hours to help my boss with administrative stuff, and a few weekly meetings with church staff, but beyond that my schedule is open for meeting with people. One-on-one, small groups, large groups, at home, at church, at Starbucks, at the beach... wherever, whenever.  While I agree with my boss that I am gifted for doing this, the mix of an unstructured schedule and not knowing many people yet is highly anxiety-producing. Boss Jason keeps saying, "It'll come with time." I appreciate his generosity of grace towards me; I need to do the same for myself!

I help plan church-wide events for my boss, like the beach baptisms, church anniversary party, graduations for his School of the Bible, and other things that come up. This involves recruiting volunteers, ordering/picking up food, organizing the flow and theme of the event, etc.

I also support the young adult ministry by attending a small group, eventually hosting one of my own, coordinating/brainstorming events, and being a female resource when needed (only guys as leaders in that ministry this year).

I am responsible for 7 hours of green time by volunteering in the bookstore on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Yep, it's a busy schedule, but it's good so far! The extern for my position, Christie, stayed these first 2 weeks to help me learn the ropes and adjust to how things are done. Very thankful for her!

Keep asking questions- thanks Cathie! :)
