Apartment Life Event/Ministry Coordinators (Conventional Program) get to create and provide an excellent experience to residents and staff in an apartment community!

A coordinator's work can be summed up using three words: Care, Connect, and Call. CARE for people in their community. CONNECT them in relationships. CALL others to do the same. We are seeking mission-minded, highly relational, and responsible coordinators who enjoy meeting new people, planning social activities, and helping people experience God's unconditional love. Coordinators get to partake in doing "business as a ministry" by faithfully weaving together excellence in business with loving their neighbors well.
