Chapel Assistant information

What is a chapel assistant?

Chapel Assistants are individuals who support the religious, spiritual, and administrative activities within a chapel or place of worship. They often help organize services, assist clergy, prepare worship materials, and provide support to the congregation. Their responsibilities may also include coordinating volunteers, setting up for events, and helping with community outreach. Chapel Assistants play a key role in ensuring that chapel operations run smoothly and that worshippers have a welcoming experience.

What are the typical responsibilities and daily tasks of a chapel assistant?

As a Chapel Assistant, your daily responsibilities often include preparing the chapel for services, assisting with setting up audiovisual equipment, organizing religious materials, and supporting the clergy or chaplain with administrative duties. You may also help coordinate events, manage schedules, and act as a point of contact for visitors or congregation members. Collaboration with other staff and volunteers is common, and the role often requires flexibility to accommodate special ceremonies or events. This position offers valuable experience in event coordination, teamwork, and interpersonal communication within a faith-based environment.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a chapel assistant, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Chapel Assistant, you need a solid understanding of religious practices, event coordination, and basic administrative skills, often supported by experience in church or faith-based settings. Familiarity with audio-visual equipment, scheduling software, and sometimes first aid certification is typically required. Outstanding interpersonal skills, discretion, and a compassionate attitude help in supporting congregants and collaborating with clergy. These abilities are crucial for ensuring smooth chapel operations, fostering a welcoming environment, and providing reliable support for both worship services and community activities.

Job description

*Please note this position would require our Staff to live near the community where they would be doing ministry.

Description:

There are nearly 300,000 teenagers of active-duty U.S. military parents who are stationed all over the world. These teens move an average of seven times during their school-aged years. The questions of identity and belonging that all teens face grow even more challenging to answer amid starting over and meeting new friends at each location.

This is where you can be the difference in a military teen’s life! By being in their world, walking alongside them, and creating a community where they experience the truth of God’s love and purpose for them, our staff provide a safe space where teens can develop friendships and connections to experience laughter, build hope, and generate resiliency.

We are currently providing incarnational ministry at many military installations around the world. You will have the opportunity to lead and oversee the overall Young Life Military program, known as Club Beyond, which is ecumenically focused and outreach oriented.

Responsibilities:

  • Actively develop healthy relationships with adults, as well as kids, and build vibrant relationships with the local community, the military installation, and the chapel community.
  • Be a role model (incarnational) and assist with developing community outreach to "unchurched" teens, discipleship to Christian teens, and leading and equipping volunteers to do "hands-on" middle and high school Christian youth programs.
  • Work well in an environment that sees (due to high military operational tempo) a high degree of turnover among teens, families, chaplains and volunteers.
  • Be respectful of and embrace a community that is deeply influenced by a military culture.
  • In this ministry, you will need to live out the Club Beyond Core Value Statement:

Club Beyond is a Christ-centered community of leaders with an exclusively military focus. Our methods are incarnational, and our perspective is ecumenical. We leverage strategic partnerships for the greatest results. We value professionalism from our staff and excellence in our stewardship.

Qualifications:

  • A deep love for Christ and for lost teens.
  • Competent communicator with youths, parents, and senior military leaders.
  • Teachable heart.
  • Willingness to make a three-year commitment.
  • Minimum of three years' youth ministry experience preferred.
  • College degree preferred.
  • Willingness to raise part of the budget through personal support.
  • Committed to a relational ministry approach.
  • Energetic.
  • Small event planning skills.
  • Strong initiative.
  • Note, this position would require our Staff to live near the community where they would be doing ministry.

Benefits:

  • Full-time salary: Based on experience, responsibility, and fundraising levels.
  • Benefits: Full health coverage (including dental, vision and life insurance).
  • Expense reimbursement (mileage [office and ministry related]).
  • Training and career development is built into the job.

Salary:

The Base Salary range: $45,000 to $60,000 (Salary is based on education and experience). In addition to salary, a Cost of Living Adjustment, dependent on location, is available. The Annual National Funding provided is $16,667.
