Full Job Description Job Summary :

Sharon Baptist Church is seeking an experienced, organized and service-minded Church Business & Operations Administrator to lead the church's day-to-day business and operational functions. Sharon Baptist is an established Charlotte congregation with approximately 150 members, a staff of approximately 10, an active Weekday School, multiple campus users and a significant annual golf tournament parking operation. This is an operational leadership role—not primarily a clerical position and not a hands-on maintenance position. The Administrator will work closely with the Senior Pastor, church leadership, staff, Weekday School, volunteers and outside vendors to ensure the church's finances, facilities, projects, risk-management processes and administrative systems are managed effectively.

Key Responsibilities :

• Coordinate budgeting, financial reporting, internal controls and audit support with the Financial Secretary, Treasurer and Stewardship Committee.
• Oversee facilities, grounds, preventive maintenance, custodial/landscape services, repairs, vendors and capital projects.
• Manage vendor bids, contracts, renewals, certificates of insurance, project schedules and performance.
• Oversee church calendar/facility use, shared-space conflicts, building access, security and operational readiness.
• Coordinate insurance, background-check/Ministry Safe processes, safety requirements and recurring inspections.
• Work with Weekday School leadership on shared financial, facility, security and operational matters.
• Maintain strong administrative continuity around church systems, records, critical accounts and recurring deadlines.
• Provide overall operational leadership for the church's major annual golf tournament parking program, using a strong volunteer/event-team structure.

Qualifications :

• Experience in business/operations management, church or nonprofit administration, facilities/business management or a comparable leadership role.
• Financial literacy and experience with budgets, reports, reconciliations and internal controls.
• Experience managing facilities, vendors, contractors, projects and competing priorities.
• Strong judgment, organization, communication, discretion and follow-through.
• Ability to work effectively with pastors, staff, committees, volunteers, vendors and school leadership.
• Comfort with modern administrative technology and cloud-based systems.
• Ability to support and work within the mission and values of Sharon Baptist Church.

Church/ministry experience is welcomed, but candidates with strong transferable business and operations experience are encouraged to apply.

Transition Plans :

Sharon Baptist's longtime Administrator retires December 31, 2026. We are targeting a November 2, 2026 start date so the incoming Administrator can receive approximately two months of direct training and knowledge transfer. The start date is negotiable, as well as salary based on experience and skillset. Health benefits offered, as well.

To Apply :

Please submit a résumé and brief cover letter describing your interest and relevant experience. Applications will be reviewed as received, and qualified candidates may be contacted before the posting closes.

Pay:

$55,000.00 - $65,000.00 per year
