Job Opportunity

Do you have a desire to help your church grow in one of Canada’s largest cities? Does the challenge of bringing new life and energy to a mission-oriented congregation excite you? Is helping young adults find their place in the life of the church an objective that is not just appealing, but personally motivating to you? Are you seeking a new, challenging, leadership opportunity in your faith journey and in your career experience? If you answered “yes” to all of these questions, then we want to hear from you!

The Canada West Mission Centre is seeking a “Church Mission and Young Adult Ministries Specialist” to work with the Calgary Congregation of the Community of Christ to help the congregation fulfill God’s mission in Calgary, and to help local young adult members and friends of the congregation find their place in the life of the contemporary church.
