Ministry Support Specialist

At Stephen Ministries, our mission is to equip people for ministry. We’re an independent, nonprofit Christian educational organization that develops and distributes books and videos, provides training, and offers consultation on Christian caregiving to individuals, congregations, and other organizations around the world. For over 45 years, we’ve offered high-quality resources that have equipped millions of people to care for those who are going through difficult times—and we are continuing to grow.

Stephen Ministries hires people, not positions—meaning that we don’t just look for people to fit preset roles, but work to identify each individual’s gifts, talents, and skills and build a position with them. One of our core values is to maintain a positive work environment, which allows our staff to thrive as they engage in work that makes a big impact in the lives of the people we serve.

The workday of a Ministry Support Specialist involves a variety of tasks, working directly with our customers, completing individual projects, and collaborating regularly with fellow staff at Stephen Ministries. Each staff member meets regularly with a mentor/supervisor who supports their work, encourages their professional development, and challenges them with new opportunities for growth.

• Deliver ministry support to customers over the phone, answering their questions and assisting them with the training, books, and materials they need for ministry
