Ministry Support & Events Director

Location: Mauldin First Baptist Church | Mauldin, South Carolina

At Mauldin First Baptist Church, some of the most meaningful ministry happens in moments that never fit neatly into a job description.

It happens when a family walks through our doors for the first time and needs someone who makes them feel welcome. It happens when hundreds of people gather to celebrate Easter or Christmas. It happens when someone takes the next step of baptism or attends Discover MFB to find their place in our church family. And sometimes, it happens when a grieving family needs a church family to walk alongside them through a funeral just days later.

The Ministry Support & Events Director helps make those moments possible.

This role combines high-level administrative support, churchwide communication, event coordination, and volunteer leadership. We are looking for someone who sees organization as ministry, anticipates needs before they become problems, enjoys making systems better, and finds fulfillment in helping other people and ministries succeed.

The right person will not simply maintain what already exists. We want someone who will identify better ways to communicate, organize, coordinate, and serve.

• Manage church correspondence, including email, letters, and churchwide communications.
• Maintain accurate church records and databases.
• Coordinate churchwide email communications, newsletters, bulletins, and other recurring communications.
• Manage calendars, appointments, meetings, and scheduling for the Senior Pastor and Director of Operations.
• Maintain registrations and administrative details for church events and ministry activities.
• Coordinate facility scheduling and room reservations.
• Help maintain an accurate master church calendar.
• Develop and improve administrative processes that make our staff and ministries more efficient.
• Anticipate administrative needs and proactively take ownership of tasks that allow ministry staff to focus on their primary areas of responsibility.

• Easter and Christmas services and events
• Mother's Day and Father's Day
• Baptisms and Communion
• Weddings
• Funerals and memorial services
• Discover MFB, our opportunity for people to learn more about our church, meet our leadership, understand our mission, and discover their next step at MFB
• Churchwide gatherings and special events
• Other significant ministry events as assigned

For these events, the Director will:

• Partner with pastors, staff, ministry leaders, families, vendors, and volunteers to execute events with excellence.
• Develop timelines, checklists, schedules, and communication plans.
• Coordinate facility usage, room setup, event flow, and post-event reset.
• Serve as a central point of contact for event logistics.
• Coordinate catering, vendors, supplies, registrations, and other event needs when applicable.
• Ensure event details are clearly communicated to everyone involved.
• Help ensure every event reflects the mission, values, and hospitality of Mauldin First Baptist Church.

A critical part of succeeding in this position is understanding that ministry is not meant to be done alone.

The Ministry Support & Events Director will have the opportunity and authority to recruit, develop, organize, and lead volunteer teams who help execute churchwide events and significant ministry moments.

Responsibilities include:

• Recruit volunteers who enjoy serving behind the scenes and helping others.
• Develop clearly defined volunteer roles and expectations.
• Build teams that can assist with hospitality, event preparation, setup, guest assistance, funeral and wedding support, and other ministry needs.
• Train and communicate with volunteers so they are prepared to serve confidently.
• Develop systems that allow volunteers to take meaningful ownership rather than depending on one staff member to personally execute every detail.
• Create a culture where serving through hospitality, administration, and practical assistance is understood as…
