Freedom House exists to SHOW PEOPLE WHO JESUS IS. Which means, every person we hire must have a heart to reach lost people and a love for the Church. God is writing an unlikely story here in the Midwest and we deeply believe God is readying His Church for a historic movement that brings glory to HIS name alone.
The Outreach Director will help fulfill FH’s vision by connecting FH to its local and global community. The director must assess specific needs outside of the church, then develop and oversee a strategy and supporting processes for those outreach opportunities. The director is also responsible for keeping FH’s approach to community impact innovative, intentional, engaging, and transformational. Every encounter holds the possibility that it might be our only chance to show them who Jesus is.
Honestly, we believe Freedom House is the best place to work. We aren’t perfect but we’d like to think we get it right more than we get it wrong. We love Jesus and we love people.
