We are seeking an administrative support officer, flexible (5-10) hours / week.
Position purpose:
The purpose of this role is to provide church office coordination and administrative support for the Ministry Team (including Church Council) in the service of God’s Kingdom through Emmanuel Uniting Church.
Key responsibilities include:
General administration, safe-church administration (in coordination with volunteers), Church Management System (ChMS – Elvanto) administration, consumables purchasing, stakeholder engagement, and miscellaneous support to pastoral team (ministry agents).
For a full position description – see attached.
For a confidential conversation please see a member of the church executive or Jesse.
In term 4 we will be exploring the Acts of Jesus by the Spirit, through the first 9 chapters of Acts.
Our small groups will look through the text, Acts 1-9, during the week PRECEDING our Sunday service. So when we gather on Sunday to hear God’s word proclaimed, we will have already engaged with the Scripture and thought through some of the key points / implications.
The content should provide for around 30 minutes of reading / engagement / discussion; but obviously this can grow / be tailored as your group needs. Allow time each week for gathering, sharing – building community – as well as praying over the week that was and for opportunities for the week ahead.
We will be following the material provided by the Bible Project. It is crowdfunded endeavour. Anyone who wishes to support the bible project – and I encourage you to do so – can give online as they are able. Each week there are resources picked from their website – articles, bible readings, videos and questions which you’re encouraged to engage in (you might like to do this in your own time) – you may even like to listen to the podcast series on the book of Acts as you commute to and from work (or potter in the garden).
Our reason for wanting to utilise these resources in the life of our communities is simple
1) to help people grow in their knowledge of Scripture and apply them in life
2) to illustrate what a great resource this is and encourage people to not only utilise it, but support it.
We exist to be real people with relevant faith for our community.
Throughout his life Jesus called people to follow him. The church continues to hear this call in the twenty-first century. Our purpose identifies our congregation as a disciple-making community and challenges each one of us to go deeper and more fully into a living and dynamic relationship with Jesus Christ.
We do this by growing Disciples who Exalt, Explore, Embody, Engage - which we commonly refer to as "the four E's". Listen to Brian preach through what this looks like for us as a faith community - the framework of the 4E's based on the great commission.
In 2 Corinthians Paul writes, “God loves a cheerful giver” and Emmanuel is a Christian community that consistently puts this into practice.
God has richly blessed us, and, over many years, we’ve generously invested in Mission together, within our community and abroad.
Regular giving through tithes and offerings gives us the finances to make this possible and helps us to live out our Vision of being
“Real People with Relevant Faith for Our Community.”
