We are growing and as a result have a new position at our church!

First Congregational Church, United Church of Christ, is a vibrant, energetic, Open & Affirming Christian Community that seeks to foster the joy, love, and fellowship that are part in parcel of our faith. We live our faith by worshiping and learning together, sharing our gifts and talents, identifying and ministering to human needs, and working for peace and justice for all people in our community and in the world.

The Office Manager is responsible for the day-to-day functions of the Church Office, which include administrative duties, customer service and public information (including social media), tenant relations, and light book keeping, as well as administrative support services for Christian education and youth programs.

30 hours/week during the church program year, 15 hours/ week office hours during the summer.
