Job description

The Outreach Coordinator position at East 91st Street Christian Church (E91) in Indianapolis, Indiana, offers an exciting opportunity for a relational, organized, and action-oriented leader who is passionate about helping people put their faith into action. Working as part of E91’s Outreach team, the Outreach Coordinator helps mobilize people to serve, strengthen relationships with community partners, and coordinate ministries and initiatives that make a meaningful difference throughout Indianapolis.

This role sits at the intersection of people, ministry, and execution. The Outreach Coordinator will oversee volunteer recruitment and onboarding, coordinate outreach events and service projects, support E91’s Family Advocacy Ministry, help manage long‑term school partnerships, and coordinate the Ethos Leadership Network. From helping a new volunteer discover where they can make a difference to organizing the details of a community‑wide serve initiative, this person helps turn E91’s heart for the community into meaningful action.

East 91st Street Christian Church is a growing church on the north side of Indianapolis with a desire to help people take their next step with Jesus and live out their faith where they live, work, learn, and play. Outreach at E91 is rooted in relationship rather than simply meeting immediate needs. Through initiatives such as the Good Neighbor Program, CarePortal, Care Communities, school partnerships, local service opportunities, and community partnerships, E91 seeks to come alongside people and organizations already doing good work while equipping the church to use their gifts, experiences, and resources to serve others.

Indianapolis provides a unique setting for this kind of ministry. As a growing metropolitan area with diverse neighborhoods, strong school systems, nonprofit organizations, businesses, and community leaders, the city offers countless opportunities for the local church to build relationships and contribute to the flourishing of its community. E91’s location on the north side of Indianapolis also provides access to both urban and suburban communities, creating opportunities to serve people from a wide variety of backgrounds and circumstances.

The ideal candidate will be someone who genuinely loves people but also loves making things happen. They should be comfortable building relationships with volunteers and community partners while also managing timelines, communications, databases, event logistics, and follow-through. Strong candidates will be proactive, highly organized, collaborative, adaptable, and able to move comfortably between relational ministry and behind‑the‑scenes coordination.
