Presbyterian Peace Fellowship Resident

The Presbyterian Peace Fellowship is hiring a resident for its new project called 'The Lost and Found.' This is a year-long opportunity to help lead PPF as we embark on creating this geographically revolving virtual worshiping community, which intentionally shares leadership. There is no designated pastor; instead, worship leadership will be taken on by those who make up the community at any given time. As a resident, you'll assist the executive director and volunteer project team in organizing and supporting these services. This role is ideal for a college student, seminarian, or anyone looking to deepen their experience of peacemaking as an expression of faith. The position is approximately five hours per week, with flexibility around the rhythms of the church.

The Presbyterian Peace Fellowship is an 80 year old organization dedicated to building peace. We are an open and affirming, independent, 501(c)3 non-profit that works to end war and to promote nonviolent theory and action to respond to violence and conflict. The organization is largely run by volunteers with an Executive Director, Financial Administrator, Minister for Gun Violence Prevention, and Communications and Digital Organizing Manager.
