REPORTS TO
Lead Pastor

COMPENSATION
Part-Time

Alabaster Church exists to see a city of spiritual seekers become a family of spirit-filled saints. We live this out by following Jesus, as a family, for Asheville. We organize our church around apprenticing with Jesus in community, gathering on Sundays and around the table in smaller regions of ministry throughout our city. We believe that to be a disciple of Jesus is to order our lives around his way (practices and habits), truth (teaching and theology), and life (Spirit and power).

Role Summary

The Ministry Coordinator provides the operational and administrative backbone for Alabaster Church — managing communications, logistics, systems, and volunteer coordination that support our life together as a church family.

Essential Job Responsibilities

  • Church-wide Communication — Alabaster Weekly Newsletter and incoming email

  • Event Logistics — Coordinate Sunday gatherings and other church events (interest dinners, book clubs, classes): scheduling, space/setup, sign-ups, and volunteer scheduling; oversee hospitality (food & beverages) and Sunday slides, personally or via a volunteer team

  • Operations, Calendar & Facilities — Maintain the master church-wide calendar, supply ordering, and room reservations at Hatchworks; serve as point of contact for the facilities relationship

  • Volunteer Leadership — Recruit, schedule, and — with the lead pastor — train volunteer teams

  • Church Management System, Website & Teaching Distribution — Develop and maintain the database (volunteer records, birthdays, communication lists, event sign-ups), keep the website updated, and edit/publish weekly teaching audio — including building a better distribution system (e.g., private podcast)

  • Connect & Care Coordination — Partner with Regional Leads on visitor follow-up (helping first-time attendees get connected) and care needs within the church family (e.g., meal trains, prayer requests)

Character Qualifications

(Adapted from 1 Timothy 3)

  • Integrity — Sincere, trustworthy, not double-tongued or two-faced; consistent in public and private

  • Self-Control — Not given to excess (alcohol, temper, spending, etc.); steady under pressure

  • Conviction — Holds to the core truths of the faith with a clear conscience; affirms Our Shared Truth and is committed to Our Shared Way

  • Humility — Tested and proven over time rather than quick to claim authority; teachable, vulnerable

  • Faithfulness at Home — Manages household and closest relationships well (if married/parenting), as a sign of trustworthiness in wider responsibility

  • Servant Posture — Not in it for status or gain; motivated by love rather than recognition

Competency Qualifications

Beyond character, this role requires practical skill and follow-through across a range of coordination and communication tasks:

  • Organizational Systems — Comfortable building and maintaining tools like a church management database, calendars, and event sign-ups; brings order to moving parts.

  • Written Communication — Writes clearly and warmly for a church-wide audience (newsletter, email correspondence).

  • Project Ownership — Can take a vague need (e.g., "get our teaching content off Google Drive") and turn it into a working system.

  • Volunteer Leadership — Recruits, trains, and schedules volunteers with clarity and follow-up.

  • Detail & Follow-Through — Manages logistics (room reservations, supply ordering, event coordination) without things falling through the cracks.

  • Technical Adaptability — Willing to learn new tools/platforms (e.g., audio editing, podcast hosting, database software) as needs evolve.

Chemistry Qualifications

Beyond competency and character, we’re also looking for chemistry — genuine alignment with how our church's core values shape our team culture:

  • Sacrificial Worship — Gives best effort, not leftover energy; takes ownership; holds a high bar even on unglamorous tasks

  • Radical Hospitality — Treats teammates with warmth, joy, and vulnerability; we share the credit and welcome feedback

  • Prophetic Discernment — Resist busyness and trend-chasing; prayer and reflection first and ongoing work; values process over pace.

  • Courageous Presence — Addresses tension directly; communicates honestly; avoids politics or passive-aggression

  • Quiet Mission — Measures work by faithfulness, not visibility; comfortable with unnoticed, behind-the-scenes labor,
