About The Position

Events and Ministry Coordinators create and provide an excellent Apartment Life experience for residents and staff in an apartment community. They combine commitment to Apartment Life’s mission with event-planning skills, personal communication, genuine care, and radical hospitality to positively impact the community and its residents. The role is suited to mission-minded, relational, and responsible people who enjoy meeting new people, planning social activities, and helping people experience God’s unconditional love. Coordinators serve through “business as a ministry,” combining excellence in business with loving their neighbors well. This is a volunteer position that provides significantly reduced housing costs. Rather than receiving wages, onsite coordinators pay a reduced monthly Apartment Life program fee for their apartment. The community requires a team of two. The role requires weekly availability, mainly during evenings and weekends, and a commitment for at least the minimum term of service.
