ACMNP Search Announcement

Director of Program & Leadership Advancement - January 4, 2012

A Christian Ministry in the National Parks is actively searching for an individual to focus on:

  • Enriching ACMNP's existing ministry programs in the parks.
  • Spearheading a new work to leverage each student's ministry experience for accelerated growth as a Christian leader -- prepared to serve the local church and the world.

The Director of Program and Leadership Advancement is a new position created to bring additional energy, creativity, and resources to the local Ministry Support Committees who directly support ACMNP's students each summer. In addition, the new Director will use technology and other resources, means, and mentors to see that students who serve with ACMNP develop leadership qualities and skills for their future service in the local church.

A longer Opportunity Profile for the position can be found here. If you'd like more information or to suggest a potential candidate, please contact Jeff Yockey of Vocational Search/Consulting.

Encounter God in a truly awe-inspiring natural setting! Become part of a rich tradition that goes back more than 50 years. A Christian Ministry in the National Parks (ACMNP) is an interdenominational ministry that extends the Christian message to those who live, work, and vacation in America’s national parks.

WATCH OUR VIDEO!

ACMNP Ministry Teams lead interdenominational worship services in the natural sanctuaries of God’s creation. We bring Christian teaching and community to people often isolated from immediate contact with local churches, including millions of visitors who come to enjoy God's great natural wonders.

When you join our Ministry Staff, you come to understand the important blend of work, wilderness, and worship that remains the hallmark of the ACMNP experience. The ministry of ACMNP is both formal and informal, involving leadership participation in Sunday worship services held in the park's amphitheaters and lodges, and calling for you to be a Christian witness in your daily life.

Each Ministry Staff Member will be employed by a concessionaire in the park and will work as a desk clerk, housekeeper, bellhop, store clerk, wait staff, or other job typical of seasonal employment, and will live with co-workers in employee housing in the park. Apply today!
