Care Team Specialist I (Part Time)

Overview

Has God given you the gift of wisdom, knowledge, counsel, piety or understanding? Or maybe God’s been calling you to pray with others and bring encouragement into people’s lives.  As believers we have been blessed with gifts from the Holy Spirit, and what better way to use your gifts than being a part of a ministry that ignites hope for millions of people across the globe! As our next Care Team Specialist I, you will connect with people each day offering prayer and spiritual support over the phone, through email, or on social media.

You will be working on the Pastoral Care team, which is a fast-paced and dynamic environment that handles a high call-volume. Your role will be challenging no doubt, but you have a tight-knit team of people who love and support one another. Warning: The Pastoral Department is known for having lots of snacks, Nerf guns, games, laughter, and you may experience deeper growth in your own faith.
