Church Administrator

Wesley Monumental United Methodist Church is seeking a collaborative, detail-oriented individual with strengths in project, financial, personnel, and facilities management to fill our open Church Administrator position.

This role requires attention to the broader vision of the church along with the ability to monitor details and execute tasks to carry out said vision. Additionally, this individual must be a servant leader and excellent communicator with strong interpersonal skills as he or she will work alongside church staff, lay leaders, committees, vendors, and more.

Wesley Monumental is a friendly, multi-generational church family with traditional roots located in downtown Savannah, Georgia, in a historic sanctuary and separate education building, and a 40-acre “retreat” campus on the Moon River. We have over 1,300 members, over 700 participating in services during the week, including over 150 children and youth. Our annual operating budget is $2.0-2.5m and we have a paid staff of 16, about evenly split between ministry and support staff; as well as a large, active lay leadership committee structure.  Our mission as United Methodists is to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world; to this end, the Church Administrator role is expected to uphold our values of servant leadership, integrity, and excellence in service to the Lord and our congregation.

If you believe you may be a good fit for this position, or would like a copy of the full JD, please contact Curtis Grund, Chair of the Staff-Parish Relations Committee at cbgrund@comcast.net. We look forward to discussing your desire to serve our church family through this unique role.
