First Baptist Slidell is a growing and vibrant church on the Northshore of Lake Pontchartrain. Slidell is a bedroom community to New Orleans. Separated only by a short drive and the lake Slidell shares a rich cultural heritage with the city of New Orleans and southeast Louisiana.

FBC Slidell has 600 active members who participate in a wide variety of ministries that keeps the church busy and open often six days a week. The church has a school and child development center that hosts 500 students from 2 year old through 12th grade. We are in the process of building a new $6 million school facility. We are also the home to a vibrant Spanish speaking church. All ministries combined see over 2,000 people weekly on and off the campus so that FBC Slidell functions as a town within a city.

We are looking for someone who enjoys hands on ministry in this hybrid role. The executive administrator will report directly to and work closely with the Senior Pastor in managing the roughly 60 acre facility to insure that the property functions well to serve as a hub for all our ministries. This person will need to be able to work with a group of 20 dedicated volunteers of mostly retired men who work weekly on the campus. A staff of five employees will also report directly to this person for this aspect. A knowledge and experience of receiving bids and executing maintenance work orders will be crucial in this capacity. This is the "hands on" part of the job that requires a general knowledge of how things work (general maintenance, HVAC contracts, etc.)

In addition to working with volunteers, this person will need to work closely with the other pastors and staff in the administration of day to day church business. The church is home to 70+ employees between church, school, cdc, and Spanish speaking staff. This is the "hybrid" in office aspect of the job working closely with the senior pastor to manage the staff, budget, and administration of the church.

This is a full time job with competitive pay and benefits commensurate with experience.

We are looking for just the right person to fill this role who loves ministry by working with people, enjoys working with their hands on practical issues, and can support the pastors in the mission of FBC Slidell to exalt the Lord, equip the saints, evangelize the lost, and engage the church community in fellowship.
