Administrative Assistant for Cross Bridge/Youth/Children Ministry

Position Summary

The Chinese Bible Church of Greater Boston - a Bible-believing, non-denominational, evangelical church in Lexington MA - is seeking a full-time Administrative Assistant to serve our Cross Bridge, Youth, and Children’s ministries. This position will facilitate the mission of God by providing administrative support to Pastoral staff in those ministries. This position is both a paid staff role and a ministry in its own right.

​

Job Responsibilities

This is primarily English-speaking position that serves the Children’s Ministry, Youth Ministry, Cross Bridge (English-speaking adult ministry) at CBCGB, and if needed, assists in church-wide needs across CBCGB. Typical responsibilities include compiling and sending email announcements, handling data entry such as for attendance, purchasing and maintaining office supplies, physically managing storage such as for youth equipment, and updating websites and social media. Week by week needs will vary due to the fluid nature of the ministries, so this position is expected to be able to collaborate closely with ministry leaders and adapt to changing priorities.
