V&M equally emphasizes the inward and outward spiritual journeys. V&M is affiliated with The United Methodist Church.


Job Description: Highly organized, detail-oriented person sought for administrative duties, to provide executive support to the Convener, and to manage a wide variety of projects. Administrative duties will include: crafting weekly emails, updating the website and facebook page, coordinating volunteers, creating and posting fliers, organizing and recording receipts and other expenses, and managing the Convener's calendar and assisting with correspondence. Project management duties will vary widely, but may include projects such as: assisting with and coordinating a stewardship campaign, compiling and designing a songbook, and developing processes to streamline event publicity and coordination. Only candidates passionate about V&M's mission will be considered.

Strong communication skills

V&M rents an office in Columbia City that we share with two other small organizations, and the person should be available to be in the office working with the Convener for some portion of the standard workweek.


Desired Qualifications: The ideal candidate would also bring one or more gifts that would intersect with other needs in our community, such as: music, web design, youth/children's ministry, or accounting.
