- The practice of unconditional love is central to following the way of Jesus (John 13:34-35)
- Embracing unconditional love means recognizing the unearned, inherent dignity and worth of every person (Genesis 1:26-31)
- "All flourishing is mutual" (Robin Wall Kimmerer).

Practically speaking, this means that (among other things) we place no limitations on women in leadership, that we fully affirm LGBTQIA+ individuals and relationships, and that we are committed to the work of antiracism and creation care.

Kindred Church is a growing, contemporary United Methodist congregation in Durham, NC, committed to sharing the inclusive love of Jesus and helping people take their next steps of faith. We are seeking a Connections Coordinator to lead one of the most critical systems in our church: how people experience welcome, find belonging, and move from first visit to meaningful engagement.

This is a 20 hours/week position.
