Our vision is to become a missional church meeting the emotional, physical, and spiritual needs of people in Jesus’ name. The following staff position supports that vision by strengthening awareness, connection, and participation at the Port Perry and Bowmanville sites through clear and effective communication.
The Communications Coordinator provides on-the-ground communications support for both locations, leading through clarity, consistency, and strong relational presence. This role helps ensure the life of the site is visible and accessible, stories are told well, and events are communicated clearly.
Reporting to the Communications Director for church-wide alignment, the role works closely with the respective site teams while upholding central shared strategy, standards, and priorities.
This is a part-time hybrid role (20 hours per week). This role requires availability on select Sundays and church holidays (e.g. Christmas Eve, Easter Sunday), and during the workweek. In-person work is required at our flagship site in Ajax on Wednesdays, and regular in-person Sunday presence will be focused on content capture and building serve teams in Port Perry and Bowmanville. The rate of pay is between $21 - $25/hr, commensurate with experience. This role requires reliable access to transportation.
