What are the responsibilities and job description for the Outreach Coordinator-Part Time 20/hours week position at The Crossing Church?
Our church... is a non-denominational multi-site church with four St. Louis-area campuses where we gather each weekend to study this ancient story found in Scripture that is still transforming lives today. We believe church should be a place where believers in Jesus and skeptics can stand side-by-side to study truth and ask tough questions. We blend teaching and worship with art and technology to create a service where you can experience the message of Jesus in practical and life-changing ways.
Outreach Coordinator(s)...We have an opportunity to hire two part-time coordinators for a shared role. The primary purpose of these part-time, 20 hour/week positions is (in a sharing capacity) to oversee and implement local Outreach Serve Days, Outreach: DIY, and other projects in conjunction with The Crossing’s non-profit/organization community partners located in the St. Charles and North St. Louis areas.
