Protestant Religious Education Coordinator in Malmstrom A F B

Protestant Religious Education Coordinator (1099 Contract)
Malmstrom Air Force Base – MT
$18–$20 per hour | 15 hours per week

Looking for meaningful ministry work that fits around your life — not the other way around? Want to use your church experience to lead, organize, and build programs that truly make a difference for military families?

At Malmstrom AFB Chapel, you won’t just maintain programs — you’ll shape them. This part-time contract role gives you steady, flexible hours while allowing you to grow your leadership skills, guide volunteers, and create engaging faith-based programs for children, youth, and adults.

The Role

In this position, you take ownership of the Protestant Religious Education program from start to finish. You plan the year, organize curriculum, prepare budgets, and ensure each class is ready to go. That means you build strong planning and financial management experience while seeing your ideas come to life.

You recruit and train volunteer teachers, helping them feel confident and supported. As you build a dependable team and substitute roster, you strengthen your leadership and coaching skills.

You coordinate Vacation Bible School, the annual Christmas program, and several special events throughout the year. These events allow you to sharpen your event planning abilities while creating meaningful moments for families on base.

You track attendance, evaluate classrooms, and meet regularly with chapel leadership. This gives you direct involvement in program improvement and decision-making, not just day-to-day tasks.

Throughout the week, you ensure classrooms are prepared, facilities are secure, and programs operate within Air Force policies. You gain hands-on operational experience in a structured and professional environment.

The Person
