Digital Marketer

Job Description

A UNIQUE PLACE

Work is a gift from the loving Father to his beloved sons and daughters. And yet, receiving this gift and offering it back to our Creator can be difficult due to the brokenness and frailty of our fallen nature. We seek to answer the Lord's invitation to lean into this tension as we build an apostolate entirely devoted to honoring God both with what we do and how we do it. It's not perfect because we are not perfect. And still, we persist because "he who made the promise is trustworthy." (Hebrews 10:23)
