The Pastoral Administrator is responsible for the business and administrative affairs of the church in a dynamic and fluid ministry environment. An ideal candidate must be a team focused self-starter who defines success collectively, not individually.
Candidates should be self-driven, motivated and diligent, constantly thinking about the next step and the next opportunity. The Pastoral Administrator will deal heavily in volunteer management and so should know what is happening in a group situation and how
to deal with others in the most effective way. They should have good judgment and intuition around the subtleties of group dynamics and the impact of their words and actions. The Pastoral Administrator will receive guidance from and report daily to the Lead
Pastor.
