Office Administrator - Job Opportunity
First Lutheran is a community of people of diverse ages, cultures, and traditions. Just as Jesus opened himself to all and, by implication, opened the reign of God to all, so we, the members of First Lutheran seek to do the same.
Our congregation is seeking a part-time Office Administrator to manage the office and provide administrative support to the Pastor, Minister of Music, and congregation. The ideal candidate is a creative, organized, and self-motivated professional with prior experience in administrative support or office management and an understanding of basic finance principles.

Due to the nature of the work, this position is on-site, in-person only.

-
Associate’s degree, Administrative Certificate, or equivalent combination of education and experience.
-
2+ years experience as a Receptionist, Administrative Assistant, Office Manager, or other administrative position.
