Administrative Director

About us

Liberty Corner Presbyterian Church is a vibrant, caring, mission\-driven community. We offer a flexible, supportive work environment, where every team member is committed to our vision of "inspiring people to find and follow Jesus." We also operate The Children's Corner (TCC), a beloved preschool that extends our ministry to families in the community.

The Role

The Administrative Director is a key member of LCPC's leadership team, responsible to ensure a trusted financial system, well\-managed church campus, and thriving staff for both the church and its preschool. You'll work closely with the Lead Pastor and serve as the operational backbone of the organization. This is a meaningful role for someone who sees administration as a form of ministry, and who finds genuine satisfaction in building systems and developing people.

Responsibilities

Finances: Ensure a trusted financial system.

• Oversee budgeting and accounting for church and preschool, in partnership with Treasurer, Finance Team, and TCC director.
• Proactively improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the financial system.
• Communicate finances clearly to church leaders.
• Maintain relationships with banking, investment, and insurance institutions.
• Serve as a member of the Finance and Stewardship Teams. (Some evening meetings required, on campus or online.)

Facilities: Oversee the office and campus.

• Manage the day\-to\-day operations of the facilities.
• Work with the Board of Trustees to maintain and maximize the campus for ministry.
• Ensure compliance with state and local government regulations, inspections, and recordkeeping.
• Oversee office operations and support staff.
• Maintain positive relationships with suppliers, contractors, vendors, and volunteers.

Human Relations: Help our team thrive.

• Supervise support staff, currently including Communication Manager, Bookkeeper, and two part\-time Ministry Assistants.
• Actively seek ways to support church staff and encourage a healthy staff culture.
• Coordinate HR functions including policies, employment contracts, and documentation for church and preschool.
• In conjunction with Lead Pastor and People Team, periodically review and enhance the staff model to most effectively advance LCPC’s mission.

What we're looking for

We're seeking someone whose character, competence, and faith all point in the same direction. Here's what that looks like:

• A sincere commitment to Jesus Christ and to the mission of LCPC — this is a religious employment position. That includes a lifestyle and attitude that reflects integrity, honesty, and trustworthy confidentiality.
• A bachelor's degree and at least 3 years of financial/administrative experience, including knowledge of financial procedures and controls.
• Strong organizational skills: you can juggle priorities, meet deadlines, and build (and improve) systems that last.
• Excellent interpersonal skills with coworkers, congregation members, vendors, and the broader community. This includes relational leadership that fosters a team\-oriented, collaborative environment.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• A growth mindset — you invest in your own development, encourage others to grow, and are always looking to improve.
• Experience with church operations is a plus, but not required.

Embracing Innovation

We believe that good stewardship includes finding smarter ways to work. We'd love to find someone who is excited about discovering AI tools to streamline operations and support our staff. If you're already using AI in your work, great! If you're simply curious and willing to learn, we'd love to explore it together.
