The position requires a highly administrative individual that would work on accounts receivable for families involved in our daycare and before & afterschool care centers, as well as other bookkeeping duties.

 Lakeland, FL  //  40 hrs / week

PURPOSE

We seek to reshape the perception of the Church's relevance by becoming the first place people look to for identity, community, and help. We will be a church that is "obsessed with the one", focused on reaching those who are doubting, done with religion, and disengaged from faith; a church that feels such urgency to share the good news of Jesus and help others claim their divine purpose that our comfort no longer factors into the equation.
