Holy Cross is a place to work, worship, and grow. You’ll improve on what you’re good at, discover things that you’re not good at, and gain insights you hadn’t known about yourself. You’ll have a team that will cheer you on, support you, and occasionally say just the wrong thing at just the wrong time. We’re far from perfect. You’ll have hard conversations that shape you more into the image of Jesus.
You’ll experience ministry disappointments and yet see God sustain you for the wonderful calling of serving his people. You’ll be called upon to model reconciliation with those who cause pain. You’ll be expected to learn humility—the hard way. Your time here will shape you—and we pray you leave more like Jesus, more committed to His Church, even if with a few “holy battle scars.”
Just being honest…
This is a part‑time position, 30 hours per week. Compensation is available upon request. Benefits as per church policy.
