We need someone who is passionate about meeting new people and helping them find real connection within the church.  Common Ground Church does not have many programs or events so when we do, they are important. Outside of the Sunday worship service we focus primarily on home groups. You will be responsible for helping connect people into these groups. The groups follow the school schedule taking summer and most of December off. As each semester begins we work hard to connect people into groups. You will oversee this on ramping.

- Manage other connection events such as volunteer appreciation, church BBQ, and others. 

            Common Ground is a non-denominational church located in Carson City, Nevada. The church was planted in 2017 with the purpose of reaching people not currently connected to a local church. We are not a very traditional church. We do not have a lot of programs. We focus on groups, and our kids and youth ministries. We have a quality location but we do not have office space. The staff meets together on Tuesdays, other than that we work from home with plenty of other meetings through the week as needed. This means that the person who fills this position must be an ambitious self starter who knows how to get things done without constant supervision. We are looking for an entrepreneurial leader who enjoys dreaming and trying new things and is able to lead people to get things done. 

       Please visit our website and view a Sunday service or two so you have an idea of who we are before you apply. We look forward to hearing from you and possibly adding you to the family.
