Area Program Coordinator

Feed the Need Missions has been showing up every week since 2010 — same place, same time, free meal, no strings attached. In small towns and underserved communities across Central Texas, we set up a grill, cook burgers, and build the kind of consistent relationships that most outreach efforts never stay around long enough to create. Guests become volunteers. Volunteers get formed. People find their way back into the life of the local church. Communities that would never walk through a church door begin to change from the inside out. Over 2 million meals served. 32,000+ one-on-one gospel conversations. Fifteen years of showing up.

We are looking for a leader of leaders to carry this work on the ground — someone who understands that the most important thing they can do is develop the people around them. Not someone who runs the ministry. Someone who builds the people who do.

THE ROLE

The Area Program Coordinator is a field-based ministry leadership position responsible for the health, growth, and sustainability of four weekly sites in an assigned region. It is a role for someone who loves people, moves toward hard things, and finds meaning in the slow, faithful work of building disciple-making community.

You will invest in site leaders, build and strengthen the Area Missions Council, cultivate church and business partnerships, and help raise the area budget that funds everything. Alongside that, you will ensure each site operates with excellence — spiritually, relationally, and operationally. You report to the Program Director and work in close partnership with the Area Missions Council.

The spiritual formation and discipleship that happens at each site — in volunteers, guests, council members, and community partners alike — flows through you. Everything you do is building people who carry the mission forward.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

This role has four primary areas of responsibility.

Spiritual Formation — Following Jesus

You are the culture carrier. The spiritual health of every site, every volunteer team, and every council relationship flows through you. You are present, invested, and living the mission you are asking others to carry.

Maintain a healthy, active walk with the Lord — everything else in this role flows from here Share the gospel naturally and relationally with guests at the sites, and model this for your team Protect the integrity of Table Talk, relational evangelism, and debrief at each site Shepherd site leaders and council members through encouragement, honesty, and accountability Live out the mission visibly and consistently — not just describe it

Leadership Development — Developing people

Your most important job is to develop leaders at every level of the ministry — site coordinators, council members, church partners, and community advocates.

Create a culture of ownership, generosity, and gospel investment in everyone around you — this is the foundation everything else is built on Build and strengthen the Area Missions Council and develop the leaders within it Recruit, train, and invest in volunteer Site Coordinators for four active weekly sites Cultivate church and business partnerships that deepen community engagement and support the mission Build leadership pipelines for site growth and ministry expansion

Resource Development — Fueling the ministry

Sustainable ministry requires sustainable funding. You are an active participant in raising the area budget that funds four sites, including your own role. Fundraising is not separate from ministry here — it is an extension of the same relational work.

Steward area resources with integrity — this is a character commitment before it is an operational one Participate in personal support development — approximately 20% of your compensation package — cultivating a personal team of ministry partners Work with the Area Missions Council on area-level fundraising strategy and execution Build relationships with individual donors, churches, and businesses who invest in the mission Help lead fundraising events including the annual banquet, community initiatives, and other area campaigns

Ministry Operations — Taking care of business

The ministry is mobile. You need to be comfortable with the physical and logistical reality of running field operations, and willing to fill whatever gap needs filling.

Ensure each site operates with consistency and e
