Custodial Assistant

The Purpose

To ensure that Hope Community Church is a safe, healthy, and appealing environment for all staff and visitors. This position ensures hospitality at its most basic level — which breaks down barriers to people hearing the Gospel.

"Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it. And in the church God has appointed first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then workers of miracles, also those having gifts of healing, those able to help others, those with gifts of administration, and those speaking in different kinds of tongues."

1 Corinthians 12:27–29
