Job Description
First Presbyterian Church of Nashville is a vibrant faith community committed to its mission of knowing Christ and making Him known. Rooted in a rich Reformed tradition and an active engagement with scripture, the church serves as a spiritual home for congregants through worship, education, and outreach. The church is located in Nashville, Tennessee, and prides itself on fostering a welcoming environment marked by servant-heartedness and a strong emphasis on stewardship and generosity. The church operates with a dedicated administrative and finance team that supports its various ministries and mission programs.
The Contributions and Donor Relations Coordinator plays an essential role within the financial and stewardship ministries of First Presbyterian Church of Nashville. This on-site, full-time position requires a detail-oriented professional to manage income processing, donor records, pledge tracking, and giving-related communications with accuracy, confidentiality, and professionalism. Working closely under the supervision of the Director of Finance, the Coordinator ensures that all gifts—whether online, by check, cash, stock, or other forms—are properly recorded, acknowledged, and stewarded to maintain strong donor relationships.
The Coordinator serves as a primary point of contact for donor inquiries and offers responsive, compassionate service. This position supports the church’s financial income processing and reconciliation by accurately batching and recording contributions across bank accounts, general ledger systems, and the church’s CRM software, Ministry Platform. The role also includes managing donor records, giving data, stewardship campaign tracking, and facilitating online payment options for events and registration fees. The Coordinator’s contribution is critical to maintaining the integrity and consistency of financial data that enables the church to steward resources effectively.
The ideal candidate will demonstrate strong initiative, resourcefulness, and problem-solving skills, thriving in an environment where the ability to navigate ambiguity and develop creative solutions is valued. A commitment to the Christian faith, familiarity with the Reformed tradition, and the capacity to integrate faith into daily work interactions are required to ensure alignment with the church’s mission. The role demands proficiency in Microsoft Office 365, accounting or database management software experience, and excellent interpersonal skills paired with a service-oriented mindset. This full-time position requires flexibility to work during regular office hours as well as occasional Sundays, evenings, or Saturdays.
Compensation for this position ranges from $23.00 to $26.50 per hour based on experience, with bi-weekly pay. The church offers a competitive benefits package including medical, dental, vision, short- and long-term disability, life insurance, and other voluntary benefits. After one year of service, employees are eligible for a matched 403(b) retirement plan. Joining First Presbyterian Church of Nashville means becoming part of a supportive community that values stewardship, donor care, and living out the Christian faith through service.
