About Us:
St. Martin's Episcopal Church is a small, welcoming community dedicated to providing a friendly and supportive environment. We seek a friendly, enthusiastic, and well-spoken individual to provide customer service to our parish and community. We do not currently have a Rector, so this position will report to the Vestry Warden and be responsible for supporting the church staff. This is an onsite position (M-F) on weekday mornings, but there is flexibility to work from home one morning a week or on an as-needed basis. While the parish office is often quiet due to limited staff and foot traffic, this role offers a peaceful work environment with ample opportunities for independent tasks and meaningful contributions to our mission.

Responsibilities:

• Manage the church office, ensuring smooth daily operations.
• Provide administrative support to church staff, parish bookkeeper, and vestry.
• Work with property contractors to maintain church facilities, and document completed work.
• Coordinate with outside organizations who use the property (e.g., non-profits)
• Handle inquiries from church members and the public, providing information and assistance as needed.
• Prepare for weekly Sunday services by arranging for lay ministers (readers, chalice-bearers, greeters, and hospitality hosts), communicating with the celebrating priest, and preparing the service bulletin.
• Prepare weekly e-newsletter (The Cloak), occasional parish reports, and other materials as assigned.
• Assist with updating and maintaining church records as assigned (e.g., membership and financial documents).
• Assist with planning and coordinating church events and programs, such as weddings and funerals.
• Perform other duties as assigned to support the church's mission and operations.

Qualifications:

• Previous administrative and/or property management experience, preferably in a church or non-profit setting.
• Strong organizational and time management skills.
• Friendly and approachable demeanor, with a commitment to providing excellent service.
• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook), and the ability to learn and use the following software: Google Suite, Constant Contact, Adobe Acrobat, and our church website.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
• Flexibility to handle a variety of tasks and adapt to changing priorities.

Please note that you do not need to be an Episcopalian or a Christian to work at St. Martin’s. However, sensitivity and understanding of the identity, mission and core values of the Episcopal Church is necessary for effectiveness in this role.
