Position Type/Expected Hours of Work This is a full‑time, exempt position with a standard expectation of 40 hours per week. Days and hours of work are typically Monday thru Friday, 9am‑5pm, however hours may vary based on weekend service responsibilities and/or special events.

The church has several big events, (“All‑Skates”) throughout the year to help further the mission of Eleven22. These events are mandatory for all staff to be in attendance and may vary, depending on the vision cast for the current year.

Our entire staff family is called to action, so that we can continue to be a movement for all people to discover and deepen a relationship with Jesus Christ.

Work Environment This job operates in a professional office setting within a collaborative team environment, regularly using standard office equipment such as computers, phones and photocopiers. The role involves close interaction with students and active support of ministry events, which may occasionally require outdoor activities and travel between campuses. Flexibility is important, as the schedule can include evenings and weekends for special events.

Physical Demands This is a mostly sedentary role; however, some activity is required at times. This activity would require the ability to lift small boxes, up to 25 pounds, and transport them to multiple campuses, set up tables, stack and reposition chairs and stand for long periods of time, during special events. Some travel may be required.

Ministerial Exception The ministerial exception furthers the purposes of the Free Exercise and Establishment Clauses of the First Amendment by barring legal claims against church bodies by staff members who perform religious functions. All church pastors are subject to the exception, but a formal ministerial credential is not required. While there is no rigid formula to determine other church staff members that qualify, various factors are considered to determine which staff members are subject to the ministerial exception (please see handbook).

Staff members who qualify under the ministerial exception are not covered by federal and state employment and anti‑discrimination laws. Please see the Human Resources Ministry Team if you have questions on whether you are subject to the ministerial exception.
