Director of Community Connections & Engagement

We are a church that exists to inspire people to know, love, and follow Jesus, as well as engage in meaningful ways with our neighbors, meeting real physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. Serving communities in Mt. Scott, Beaverton, Milwaukie, and West Linn, our ministry is guided by three values: radical hospitality, uncommon humility, and sacrificial generosity. We believe that where these values are lived out by a group of people, there you will also find an impact made for the Kingdom of God that is truly undeniable – drawing even more people into relationship with Him.

Each of our campuses are responsible for shaping ministry to meet the unique needs of their local community. While our campuses all have the same values, teach the same sermon series, and share a general approach to ministry, most decisions are made locally to ensure our congregation and community are best served.

In this role, you’ll:
Cultivate and maintain strategic relationships with local community partners, and friends in the community, including Bridge Meadows, GSM, Catalyst NW, UGM, Ava Health, and similar organizations.
Serve as the primary liaison for local mission and service opportunities, vetting and engaging incoming requests aligned with BCC’s values and capacity.
