Area Program Coordinator

MinistryHub is honored to partner with Feed the Need in their search for an Area Program Coordinator. Please direct all applications through MinistryHub and any inquiries to hello@ministryhub.org.

You have spent years investing in people through relational ministry. You know how to develop a volunteer leader, how to walk with someone through a hard season, and how to stay present in a community long after the excitement wears off. You find the slow work meaningful. You are not looking for a platform — you are looking for a place where the formation you carry actually multiplies.

Feed the Need Missions has been showing up every week since 2010 — same place, same time, free meal, no strings attached. In small towns and underserved communities across Central Texas, we set up a grill, cook burgers, and build the kind of consistent relationships that most outreach efforts never stay around long enough to create. Guests become volunteers. Volunteers get formed. People find their way back into the life of the local church. Communities that would never walk through a church door begin to change from the inside out. Over 2 million meals served. 32,000+ one-on-one gospel conversations. Fifteen years of showing up.

We are looking for a leader of leaders to carry this work on the ground — someone who understands that the most important thing they can do is develop the people around them. Not someone who runs the ministry. Someone who builds the people who do.

THE ROLE

The Area Program Coordinator is a field-based ministry leader responsible for the health, growth, and sustainability of four weekly sites in an assigned region.

You will develop Site Coordinators, strengthen the Area Missions Council, cultivate church and business partnerships, help raise the area budget, and ensure each site operates with spiritual, relational, and operational excellence.

Reporting to the Program Director and working closely with the Area Missions Council, you will help form the people who carry the mission forward.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

Spiritual Formation — Following Jesus

• Maintain a healthy, active walk with the Lord and model the mission you are asking others to carry

• Share the gospel naturally with guests and equip volunteers to do the same

• Protect the integrity of Table Talk, relational evangelism, and site debriefs

• Shepherd Site Coordinators and council members through encouragement, honesty, and accountability

Leadership Development — Developing People

• Recruit, train, and invest in volunteer Site Coordinators across four weekly sites

• Build and strengthen the Area Missions Council and develop leaders within it

• Create a culture of ownership, generosity, discipleship, and gospel investment

• Cultivate church, business, and community partnerships

• Build leadership pipelines that support healthy sites and future ministry growth

Resource Development — Fueling the Ministry

• Participate in personal support development, representing approximately 20% of your compensation package

• Partner with the Area Missions Council on fundraising strategy and execution

• Build relationships with donors, churches, businesses, and ministry partners

• Help lead the annual banquet, community initiatives, and other fundraising campaigns

• Steward ministry resources with integrity

Ministry Operations — Taking Care of Business

• Ensure each site operates consistently and effectively, including setup, teardown, staffing, and serving standards

• Monitor site health, identify challenges early, and help implement solutions

• Coordinate with the Equipment Coordinator on trailer and gear readiness

• Support disaster response deployments and seasonal initiatives such as Gobble Kits

• Step into practical needs at the sites when necessary, from cooking and greeting to prayer and setup

FAITH AND CALLING

Feed the Need Missions is a faith-based ministry rooted in the gospel and the conviction that Jesus is the answer to the deepest needs of every person we serve.

We are looking for someone who:

• Is a follower of Jesus Christ with an active, growing faith

• Fully agrees with the Feed the Need Missions Statement of Faith

• Believes sharing the gospel is central to the mission

• Is committed to the local church and its role in making disciples

• Understands that character and spiritual health matter as much as professional competency

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

You are a leader of leaders who finds greater satisfaction in developing others than doing everything yourself. You know how to identify potential, give responsibility, coach people, and help volunteers grow into meaningful leadership.

You have been formed through relational ministry. Whether through campus ministry, adolescent outreach, community ministry, church planting, or a similar setting, you understand that lasting ministry happens through consistent relationships over time.

You move toward people and complexity. When a volunteer struggles or a site loses momentum, you stay engaged, address what is happening, and work toward healthy relationships and solutions.

You are self-directed and operationally capable. You can assess needs, manage logistics, communicate clearly, tow a trailer, and keep multiple sites and relationships moving without requiring close supervision.

You are also comfortable inviting people to invest in the mission. Experience with support development is valuable, but a genuine willingness to learn and build ministry-partner relationships is essential.

QUALIFICATIONS

Required

• Active, growing relationship with the Lord

• Full alignment with the Feed the Need Missions Statement of Faith

• Experience developing leaders in a relational ministry setting

• Demonstrated ability to recruit, develop, and retain volunteers

• Experience with or openness to personal support development and donor relationships

• Strong written and verbal communication skills

• Ability to tow and operate a ministry trailer

• Working knowledge of basic field systems, including closed water systems, 12V electrical, and grill operation and safety

• Availability for evenings and weekends as ministry needs require

Preferred

• Experience overseeing multiple sites, teams, or ministry areas

• Fundraising, event campaign, or budget-development experience

• Experience working with a volunteer council, board, or advisory team

• Disaster relief or crisis-response experience

• Familiarity with evangelical church networks, church planting culture, or SBC ministry in Texas

COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS

• Position Type: Full-time, salaried field ministry staff

• Salary Range: $45,000–$65,000 annually, based on experience

• Support Development: Approximately 20% of the compensation package is raised through personal ministry partner development; training and coaching are provided

• Health Benefits: Health benefits stipend; details shared during the interview process

• Travel: Mileage reimbursement for area travel and site visits

• Relocation: Relocation assistance available for candidates moving to the area

• Development: Ongoing coaching, training, and investment in your growth as a ministry leader

• Schedule: Field-based, with primarily evening site ministry and community and council work throughout the week

A NOTE ON SUPPORT DEVELOPMENT

Personal support development is a normal part of relational ministry and an important part of this role. Feed the Need Missions provides training and experienced coaching to help you build a team of ministry partners who pray for and financially invest in the work.
