Job Description

The Connections role is responsible for leading and strategically cultivating a dynamic guest assimilation experience that guides individuals into deeper ownership of Osage Hills. This role oversees the Guest/Member Connection processes, helping the congregation engage with the ministries and programs of Osage Hills, and developing a strategic pathway that emphasizes clear “next steps” for meaningful ministry involvement.

This position serves as the front‑facing presence in the lobby, creating an environment that welcomes new guests and provides clear next steps toward connection and growth. The connections director will lead, equip and empower guest service volunteers; strategically implement a next‑step‑oriented process to help guests get connected efficiently; teach and facilitate Discover OHills while overseeing the membership process and serve as a point person on Sundays between services to meet people and assist with needs. This role connects individuals to volunteer opportunities, ministers and shepherds new attendees through lunches, invitations and encouragement and provides managerial oversight of the community events program. This role also works within the community church builder (CCB) database, managing membership profiles, neighborhood groups and community post walls. Additionally, the role will cultivate a thriving small group ministry that nurtures meaningful relationships, encourages discipleship and ensures every person has a place to belong, grow and serve within the church community.

Qualified candidates must possess demonstrated experience in guest assimilation, connection ministry or related church engagement roles and prior experience in connections ministry is preferred. Candidates must bring strong organizational, computer and communication skills and be proficient in database management to ensure accurate tracking, follow‑up and reporting. Individuals who bring strategic, visionary leadership that strengthens the direction, health and long‑term impact of the connections ministry and who demonstrate a heart for helping people take next steps in discipleship will be highly valued. Equivalent education or a relevant college degree may be considered in lieu of direct connections experience.

This is a full‑time, exempt position compensated on a salaried basis. The role includes a defined minimum starting salary within a broader compensation range. Final salary and job title will be determined based on the candidate’s education and relevant experience.

Normal working hours are Sunday–Thursday; however, these rhythms may shift as the connections role faithfully walks alongside guests, members, volunteers and small groups, particularly for weekly gatherings, special events and opportunities to be present in the life of the church. Flexibility is expected as part of cultivating meaningful relationships, supporting volunteer teams and fostering a welcoming environment for all who call our church home.
