Senior Adults Director

Most days tend to involve a blend of program planning, individual pastoral conversations, and volunteer coordination — meetings with small group leaders and program volunteers, planning trips, classes, and events, and being available to seniors navigating health, family, or life questions. You'll often spend part of the time on the operational fabric of programs and communications.

The hardest part is often the cumulative weight of pastoral work with seniors — illness, decline, and loss are part of the regular rhythm. You'll typically walk with members through difficult passages while still keeping the program vibrant and forward-looking, and you'll lead largely through volunteers whose own life stages mean their availability shifts.

People who tend to thrive here are pastorally grounded, deeply present, and emotionally durable. The trade-off is the schedule and the pastoral weight that the role carries. If you find satisfaction in walking with people through one of life's most spiritually rich seasons, this role can carry uncommon meaning in faith community work.
