About the Role

Each member of the staff serves to advance our vision—to be a church rooted in the gospel, shaped by the Anglican tradition, and sent out for the glory of God and the life of the world.

The Director of Operations & Executive Assistant (DOO / EA) serves as the Rector’s key administrative and operational partner, ensuring that the vision and ministry of Apostles Houston are supported by clear communication, effective systems, and professional excellence.

As a senior lay leader, the DOO / EA provides high-level executive support to the Rector and oversees church operations—including administration, finance coordination, human resources, facilities, and internal communications.
