Position Type/Expected Hours of Work

This is a full-time, exempt position (40+ hours per week). Days and hours of work vary based on holidays and/or special sales events.

The church has several big events, (“All-Skates”) throughout the year to help further the mission of Eleven22. These events are mandatory for all staff to be in attendance and may vary, depending on the vision cast for the current year.

Our entire staff family is called to action, so that we can continue to be a movement for all people to discover and deepen a relationship with Jesus Christ.

Work Environment

This position operates in a dynamic, hybrid work setting that combines remote work with time in a professional office environment. The role requires adaptability to multiple contexts, including office-based collaboration, virtual meetings and on-site engagement at client locations and project sites. Work often involves interaction with church leadership, participation in industry events and coordination with internal teams. Standard office technology, such as computers, phones and digital platforms, is used regularly to manage operations and communication across diverse environments.

Physical Demands

This role involves a mix of sedentary and active responsibilities. Extended periods of computer and phone use are common when working remotely or in-office. Frequent travel is required to attend client meetings, visit project sites and participate in conferences or events. Physical activity may include walking through construction areas, standing for prolonged periods during site inspections or meetings and occasional light lifting (up to 15 pounds).

Ministerial Exception

The ministerial exception furthers the purposes of the Free Exercise and Establishment Clauses of the First Amendment by barring legal claims against church bodies by staff members who perform religious functions. All church pastors are subject to the exception, but a formal ministerial credential is not required. While there is no rigid formula to determine other church staff members that qualify, various factors are considered to determine which staff members are subject to the ministerial exception (please see handbook).

Staff members who qualify under the ministerial exception are not covered by federal and state employment and anti-discrimination laws. Please see the Human Resources Ministry team if you have questions on whether you are subject to the ministerial exception.
