Job Description
River City Community Church (RCCC) is an established faith-based community organization dedicated to fostering spiritual growth and engagement within its congregation and surrounding community. RCCC houses the Real Life Center (RLC), a prominent venue used for various private events that support church activities as well as community gatherings. Known for its welcoming environment and commitment to service, RCCC continually seeks team members who align with its mission and values, offering opportunities to contribute to meaningful events that strengthen community bonds and spiritual development.
The Private Event Coordinator (PEC) at River City Community Church plays a pivotal role in orchestrating all private events related to the Real Life Center and RCCC. This position functions as the primary liaison between families or groups inquiring about event space and the RCCC Private Events Team, ensuring seamless communication and event planning from the initial inquiry through post-event follow-up. The PEC leads the entire event lifecycle management, including scheduling, organization, and facilitation of logistics to ensure every occasion is executed flawlessly. This position requires a professional who is highly organized, detail-oriented, and proficient in communication, both written and verbal, to maintain clear and effective interaction with clients and internal teams.
As a contract labor position classified under a 1099 agreement, the PEC is expected to have experience in managing special events such as banquets, weddings, or similar gatherings, especially within a church or parachurch context, to meet the nuanced needs of RCCC’s venue usage. With a compassionate and servant-hearted approach, the PEC must exhibit grace and tact, particularly when handling conflicts or delicate situations, always reflecting biblical principles in their conduct. The role also demands technological agility, with proficiency in Microsoft Suite and an aptitude for quickly mastering new project management software and tools.
Beyond operational capabilities, the PEC is expected to embody strong spiritual gifts relevant to administration, hospitality, service, and help. The position welcomes self-starters who can work independently but also thrive as part of a team, maintaining flexibility to adhere to established policies while exercising wise judgment in extraordinary circumstances. Importantly, the PEC serves on-site during events to provide real-time management and support, ensuring the smooth flow of activities and a positive experience for all participants. This role supports the church’s broader leadership framework, functioning under the direction of Elders and Senior Staff, and requires the individual to participate in a criminal background check to uphold the safety and integrity of the church community.
Overall, the Private Event Coordinator role at RCCC offers a fulfilling opportunity for candidates passionate about event management within a faith-centered environment, offering the chance to contribute to meaningful community gatherings while developing both professional skills and spiritual growth. This role is tailored for professionals capable of balancing organizational excellence with compassionate interpersonal engagement, in a position that directly impacts the church’s ministry and fellowship.
