Church Administrator WestVillage Church

PREAMBLE

West Village Church (WVC) is a gospel-believing church that gathers on Sundays in Westboro, Ottawa. We are a diverse group of believers who come together with a shared mission and desire to share the good news of Jesus with those we work with, live near, and interact with each day.

We exist to make disciples who love God, love their neighbour, and make disciples. We are a congregation of just over 150, with over 80 actively serving. We believe that every disciple is a minister and we seek a leader who is passionate about equipping the body to serve one another and our neighbours well.

We are looking for a Church Administrator who views administration as a vital ministry of support and connection. Your primary objective is to be a “key enabler” for our growing church body—removing administrative friction so that our elders, staff, ministry leads, and members can be effective disciple rs. You will serve as a central hub, connecting the body to ensure we operate with unity and stewarding God’s resources faithfully.

More than managing systems, you are equipping the saints for the work of ministry by providing the structural support and communication needed for a healthy, growing church.
