Opportunity Knox

The primary role of Opportunity Knox (OK) is to ensure there is an open and transparent process for filling vacant volunteer leadership positions. We strive to provide applicants with knowledge of the position and to match skills and interests with available opportunities. The positions most likely to fall under the OK mandate are those requiring congregational approval, such as Council members, Trustees and leadership positions including Committee/Team Chairs. 

Knox is looking for leaders to advance and evolve the mission of the church. 

Council Secretary. This person is an active part of the Council and helps keep them organized by taking and keeping minutes and overseeing the official correspondence of the church. On average this position requires a volunteer commitment of approximately 5 hours per month. 

Trustee.  Knox Trustees are responsible for holding in trust and managing Knox Church properties and funds related to those properties.  If you have an interest in investments and/or real estate management and would like to be included in a longer-term vision for the sustainability of our historic building, please consider joining this team. The term is 4 years with a time commitment for quarterly meetings and extra time as needs arise. You must also be a member of Knox or willing to become a member.

Grants Team Lead and Members. These are new positions under the direction of Council. These individuals will research and write applications for grants identified by Council to support the Vision and Values of Knox.  These positions require a variable but not onerous time commitment and do not require membership at Knox.

Member of Ministry and Personnel.  M&P members work to support, nurture and oversee the Knox staff to bring out their best. As members of Knox, they are the stewards of the relationship between the congregation and the staff. On average they anticipate a volunteer commitment of 5 hours per month. Life experience with staff relations, organizational skills, creative problem-solving abilities and effective communication skills are optimal.
