Churches in Renewal Operations Manager at Renovaré. The Opportunity. Founded by Richard J. Foster in 1988, Renovaré (Latin: to renew) advocates, resources, and models fullness of life with God. Our mission is beautifully simple: to help people become more like Jesus.. As a new and adaptive way of fulfilling this mission, Renovaré launched the Churches in Renewal initiative in 2024 to support and connect churches that want to prioritize spiritual formation as the organizing principle of their congregational life. This initiative aims to ground, engage, and unite congregations in spiritual renewal—understanding it and experiencing it—so that they can be a radiant embodiment of Jesus Christ in their communities.. Here's what we're building:. It’s common for a church to stall out in the shallows of discipleship, for pastors and leaders to feel lonely or stuck, for local congregations—even those with a solid grounding and clear mission—to become divided or distracted by secondary things. It happens to the best. . What these churches and pastors and leaders need isn’t a new program or a perfect five-year plan. They need real ties to other Christians who gently call one another back to Jesus, their First Love, and remind one another why local church is worth the work. They need a human connection to the capital-C Church that transcends denomination and renews Kingdom imagination. They need a forum where they can ask hard questions, hear wise perspectives, and discern Spirit-led strategies in the company of peers and mentors.. Over the next 3 years we want to create spiritual formation ecosystems in 5-8 hub cities across the United States—places like Atlanta, Denver, Kansas City, Seattle, and beyond—where clusters of churches from diverse denominations, ethnicities, and socioeconomic contexts come together for renewal. Simultaneously, we're launching a national Church Network connecting 200+ congregations who want to learn how we Jesus do our church, and together normalize the counterculture way of life with God.. We have a strategic vision. We have rich relationships with churches and partners who are invested. We have a proven curriculum and theological depth. What we're missing is the operational backbone—the invisible infrastructure that makes all of this scale sustainably.. This is where you come in.. We need a builder and sequencer: someone who thinks like an air traffic controller. Someone who can see ten planes in the air simultaneously and knows exactly where each one is, where it's going, and how to keep them from colliding. Someone who builds systems and workflows that make everyone else's efforts flow smoothly—even when they're not in the room.. What You'd Manage.

A person with a passion for his/her own inward transformation.. A person of balance and wholeness, reflecting the . Six Streams of the Christian faith. A person who practices the spiritual disciplines as a means of grace.. A person who is able to wait on the Lord and practice discernment.. A person who listens well and is open to influence.. A person of humility who does not need adoration.. A person who loves people through service.. A person who seeks feedback and is willing to share suggestions.. 5+ years managing operations, strategic implementation, or multi-project coordination. CRM/database management experience (Airtable, Salesforce, HubSpot, or similar). Event planning at scale (50+ participants, multi-site logistics). Grant administration and funder reporting. Distributed team coordination and volunteer care systems. Technology platform mastery with quick learning curve for new tools. Ministry or nonprofit context experience. If you're reading this and nodding along, you might be exactly who we need if you’re:. Wired for systems thinking.. When you look at a complex problem, you naturally break it down into components, see how they connect, and design workflows that prevent bottlenecks. You think in templates, decision trees, and integrated processes. You don't just execute tasks—you build infrastructure that enables others to use their gifts with excellence.. A person who can balance technology as a healthy tool for ministry.. Spreadsheets, databases, CRMs, project management platforms—these aren't intimidating to you. They're how you bring order to chaos. You get genuinely excited about optimizing a workflow or automating a manual process. You troubleshoot tech issues with patience and competence, not anxiety.. Able to hold multiple balls in the air without dropping any.. Right now we're managing Denver's active cohort, planning next hub city launches, growing the church network, preparing program adaptive reports, coordinating volunteer teams, and about ten other things. You don't need to focus on just one project to feel effective—in fact, you find the integrated complexity energizing rather than fragmenting.. A person who find deep satisfaction in invisible work.. You don't need your signature on the final product. You find fulfillment when a lesson deploys seamlessly, when a gathering runs without a hitch, when volunteer teams contribute because your systems empowered them. Your reward is watching others succeed because the infrastructure you built made their work flow.. A person who appreciates that operations is ministry, not just logistics.. At Renovaré, how we go about our work matters as much as what we do. Our systems honor contemplative rhythms. Our pace reflects discernment, not just efficiency. Our volunteer coordination invites meaningful engagement, not just task completion. You understand that the way we build infrastructure can either reflect or betray our formation values.. Able to navigate across boundaries with humility and wisdom.. This role requires engaging with churches across denominational lines (Baptist to Presbyterian, Pentecostal to Methodist), ethnic contexts (predominantly white evangelical to historically Black congregations), and socioeconomic realities (urban multi-site to rural independent). You've demonstrated this kind of cross-cultural competency before, and you see diversity as a gift rather than a complication.. Company Location: United States.
