Office Administrator

Fannin Terrace Baptist Church · Midland, Texas Full-time · Hourly

Help a church family serve people well

For many people, the first voice they hear from Fannin Terrace is the one that answers the phone. Someone calling about a hospital stay. A first-time guest with a question. A family trying to find the right room on Sunday morning. Our Office Administrator ensures each of those people is met with warmth and that what they need reaches the right person the same day.

We’re looking for an organized, dependable, warm person who loves the local church and finds joy in keeping a busy office running smoothly, so our ministry staff can give themselves to the people God has entrusted to us.
