As the Project Manager at CyLife Church, you will lead, coordinate, and execute cross-functional projects that support our mission of making and sending disciples who love and live like Jesus. From ministry launches to large-scale events, from systems upgrades to strategic initiatives you’ll bring clarity, alignment, and momentum. Your leadership will help translate vision into action while equipping teams to collaborate effectively and steward resources wisely.

You’ll work closely with Operations Pastor to build and manage systems that empower people and maximize ministry impact. This role is central to helping CyLife function with excellence and intentionality in every season.
