North America Missional Practitioner

About Communitas

At Communitas, we believe every Christ-follower is called to participate in God's mission. We also recognize that we are not all called to go the same distance, serve in the same way, or need the same resources and support along the journey.

Some are called to serve in their local communities, others across cultures and around the world. Some are seasoned missional pioneers, while others are just beginning to explore what it means to live missionally. Wherever someone finds themselves on that journey, we believe it all matters, and everyone has a place in God's movement.

Our vision is to catalyze a vibrant, growing missional movement by building meaningful relationships, maximizing the strengths and gifts of others, and creating opportunities for people to connect, grow, and expand their missional impact.

Position Purpose

The North America Missional Practioner plays an important role in advancing the mission and vision of Communitas by cultivating relationships and helping individuals discover meaningful pathways to belonging within our organization.

This position focuses on connecting with people, understanding their unique missional calling, and exploring how Communitas can come alongside them as traveling companions. Through intentional relationship-building, listening, discernment, and encouragement, this role helps create opportunities for greater connectedness, collaboration, and missional impact.

We believe healthy relationships are the foundation of a healthy missional movement. Rather than prescribing a one-size-fits-all approach, this position helps people discover what partnership might look like for them, recognizing that relationships develop and deepen over time.

Key Responsibilities

• Cultivate Relationships: Build authentic, meaningful relationships with individuals exploring a connection with Communitas.
• Discern Missional Calling: Engage individuals in conversations about their stories, passions, gifts, and sense of calling, helping them identify potential pathways for involvement.
• Create Pathways to Belonging: Help individuals understand the various ways they can connect with, participate in, and contribute to the Communitas community.
• Encourage Missional Engagement: Support and empower people at different stages of their missional journeys, whether serving locally, nationally, or internationally.
• Connect People and Resources: Identify opportunities to connect individuals with the relationships, resources, and support that will help them flourish in their calling.
• Foster Collaboration: Encourage relationships that maximize the collective strengths, wisdom, and gifts of individuals throughout the Communitas community.
• Cultivate a Movement Mindset: Help advance a culture that values shared mission, mutual support, empowerment, and growth over organizational structures or one-size-fits-all models of engagement.

Qualifications and Characteristics

The ideal candidate will:

• Have a genuine passion for Jesus and a commitment to participating in God's mission in the world.
• Embrace the belief that all Christ-followers are called to mission, though that calling may look different for each person.
• Be relationally gifted, with the ability to listen well, ask thoughtful questions, and build authentic connections.
• Demonstrate an ability to recognize and affirm the unique gifts, passions, and contributions of others.
• Be comfortable engaging people at different stages of their missional journeys.
• Have strong communication, interpersonal, and organizational skills.
• Value collaboration, shared leadership, and empowering others.
• Be adaptable, creative, and comfortable working within an evolving, relationship-centered organization.

Financial Support and Partnership

This is a support-funded position. You are responsible for developing and maintaining a network of financial partners who provide the resources needed to sustain your ministry.

Communitas provides an organizational community and a framework for support development, ministry connection, and ongoing encouragement. We view support raising not simply as fundraising, but as inviting others to participate in God's mission through prayer, relationship, and financial partnership.
