Description
The Gathering of Men, a discipleship ministry to men in Houston and surrounding communities since 1979, is looking for our next Executive Director. The current Executive Director has faithfully led the Gathering since 1998. The ministry’s mission to “disciple men to a mature relationship in Jesus Christ” is carried out through outreach breakfasts, luncheons, business roundtables, a golf tournament, small groups, and one-on-one discipleship. Additionally, the Gathering is responsible for the planning and execution of the Greater Houston Prayer Breakfast, with an annual attendance of 1,000 – 2,000 men, women, dignitaries, and government officials. The ministry networks with many churches and Christ-centered non-profits through its sister ministry, The Get Together (a separate 501c3 ministry that networks the business community with non-profits to facilitate in-kind giving). Over the past 25 years, the Gathering has authentically woven itself into the fabric of the Houston ministry community and is well supported and positioned to continue carrying out it’s mission for many years to come.
The successful candidate will have most of the following criteria, with the first three being absolute characteristics:
- The E.D. will create and maintain a discipleship effort for men in and near Houston. This includes a group of 20 volunteers who run small groups, ongoing luncheon series and breakfast outreaches.
- The financial administration of the ministry, including the supervision of QuickBooks and other reporting systems, interface with the outside accountant on filing IRS statements, fundraising, and notifying the Board of the ministry's cash position.
- Participation in the Houston Prayer Breakfast.
- Networking with city-wide ministries to promote the Gathering as well as to serve other ministries.
- Maintain relationships with local pastors and recommend local churches to men in discipleship.
- Review practices that are currently used by the Gathering and redesign to fit the E.D.'s unique ministry leadings.
- Review administrative practices and recommend new formats, if needed, to improve current operations.
- The new Executive Director will work with the help and tutelage of the current Executive Director (a Covenant graduate) until a time when he can take over the operation.
