Job description

At Elevation Church, we look to link arms in ministry with those who are passionate about stepping into their God-given calling. While we’re a staff from all different backgrounds and walks of life, our mission is the same - to reach people with the Gospel. We’re grounded in scripture and guided by our values, so check out our website (www.elevationchurch.org) to be sure you’re aligned before you step into the application process with us, particularly paying attention to our Beliefs and our Code.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Count and verify weekend offerings
• Reconcile weekend offerings against giving records
• Manage and maintain accuracy across all Contributions data
• Respond to contributor questions on giving and account details
• Support the preparation of quarterly giving statements for accuracy and timely delivery
• Help oversee the system of offering collection at multiple campus locations

MUST-HAVES

• Active participation in a church (we look for a lifestyle of inviting people to church, volunteering, generosity, and prioritizing community)
• Degree in Accounting or Finance with 2+ years of directly related experience
• Attention to detail with strong analytical and critical thinking skills
• Flexibility and ability to work on multiple initiatives simultaneously

• There’s a lot to accomplish each week, so we’re pretty fast-paced. We’re also not afraid to pivot a strategy or project quickly to meet the needs of the weekend - adaptability is a key competence for us.
• Yes, we work hard. But we’re good at playing hard, too. We’re a creative staff, so there’s no shortage of activities around our offices to have some fun!
• You can’t help but grow on our staff. You’ll be around some incredible people. Professional development opportunities will be all around you, both in structured and unstructured ways.
• We expect you to be disciplined in your spiritual practices - be in your Bible, spend time with the Lord in prayer, meditate on and apply the weekly sermon.
• Bring your full self to every project, conversation, and initiative at hand.
