Protestant Religious Education Coordinator (PREC)
Maxwell Air Force Base | Part-Time 1099 Contract | $18–$20 per hour depending on experience | Minimum 20 hours per week

Would you enjoy helping military families build strong faith foundations through engaging learning programs?

Are you looking for a flexible part-time role where you can organize meaningful church activities and guide volunteers who want to serve their community?

This role gives you the chance to make a real impact in the lives of service members and their families. As the Protestant Religious Education Coordinator, you will help create welcoming learning experiences for children, youth, and adults in the Maxwell Air Force Base Protestant Worship Community.

You will work closely with the Lead Protestant Chaplain and chapel team to plan programs, support volunteers, and help faith education activities run smoothly throughout the year.

The Role

In this position, you will organize and deliver religious education programs that bring people together. From weekly classes to larger seasonal events, you will help create experiences where families can learn, connect, and grow in their faith.

A big part of the role is coordination. You will plan schedules, prepare curriculum, and make sure volunteers have what they need to lead activities with confidence. When volunteers are not available, you may step in to teach approved lessons yourself.

You will normally work at least 20 hours per week (about 80 hours per month). Sunday programs run 10:30 AM – 12:30 PM, and you will arrive 30 minutes before events to prepare. Other hours are usually spent in the Protestant office at the Maxwell AFB Chapel.

Key Responsibilities

• You will keep the religious education program organized and running smoothly. This includes planning the yearly schedule of activities, coordinating volunteers, and helping lead programs for children, youth, and adults.
• You will also help run important community events such as Vacation Bible School, holiday programs, and family fellowship activities. These events allow you to create positive experiences that bring families together.
• Another key part of the role is supporting the volunteer team. You will help recruit volunteers, guide them through their responsibilities, and ensure programs involving children follow required safety procedures.
• You will also help promote upcoming programs, coordinate the use of chapel facilities, and keep curriculum resources and records organized.

The Person

• You will likely succeed in this role if you enjoy organizing church programs and helping volunteers work together effectively.
• Experience coordinating religious education, church programs, or community events will help you thrive. Comfort working with children, youth, and adults is important, along with strong communication and organization skills.
• You should also be comfortable using tools such as Microsoft Office and presentation software, and you must be able to pass the required background checks for working with children and accessing the installation.
