As you look around, you may notice that we are no longer living in a Christian-oriented society. Our societal underpinnings, cultural norms, and our overall ethos in America no longer support and buoy up those seeking to follow Christ. And the general trend in our church points toward people walking away from the faith.
At this pivotal point in our history, what many are calling a new apostolic age (about Christianity no longer being the prevailing worldview as it was during the early days of the Church), there is a fantastic opportunity to rediscover the power of the Gospel and to bring people to the saving grace and abundance of life in Jesus Christ. As Paul says, Where sin abounds, grace abounds all the more.- Rom 5:20
If you feel a tug on your heart to live on a mission for the glory of the Father, wed love to meet you.
The Archdiocese of Denver seeks a passionate, detail-oriented person to serve as a Human Resources Administrative Assistant. If you love doing behind the scenes to make a significant impact on helping the People Support team operates more smoothly and efficiently as we support the mission of the Archdiocese of Denver. This exciting position is responsible for managing and handling so much of the work no one sees but is vital to a healthy and effective team. As our team strives toward becoming a center of excellence and a beacon for the Catholic Church in America on what a people strategy looks like in an apostolic age, your work will serve as a critical foundation for building that strategy.
The Mission of the Archdiocese of Denver:
The Archdiocese of Denver exists so that in Jesus Christ, all might be rescued and have abundant life for the glory of the Father.
At the Archdiocese of Denver Pastoral Center, we seek to live this mission by living the following values. You will love working here if you aspire and strive to live these.
Abide in Relationship: Having become sons and daughters of the Father in Baptism, we grow in relationship with him and our neighbor.
Through prayer, God-centered, not self-centered, we discover charity which requires that we abide first in divine intimacy.
Our desires are transformed into the will of God; doing the will of the Father becomes our food (John 4:34).
We understand the demands love places on us in relationship to God and others.
Be the Cavalry:
We desire to build up God's Kingdom and rescue our neighbors.
The work to be accomplished is ours. No army is coming; we are the cavalry.
We put on the whole armor of God (Eph 6:11); our standard is Jesus Christ. We know our King; we know our Adversary.
United by a joint mission, we stand ready to be deployed to rescue others and take the hill.
The Holy Spirit strengthened the boots on the ground, each with a different yet vital role to play in the success of our mission.
We endeavor daily to do great things for God (cf. Philippians 4:13).
Confound the World:
We recognize we're on a mission to proclaim the power of the Gospel in the modern wilderness, a hostile land that requires courage in the face of opposition.
Assured by our identity, we confidently venture out and embrace redemptive suffering. The Church is at her best when she's the underdog.
We are in the world but not of this world, (John 17:16). As citizens of heaven (Philippians 3:20), we are pilgrims and not vagabonds (1 Peter 2:11).
Our joyful, countercultural witness perplexes the world and plants seeds of curiosity about its origin.
We love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us (Luke 6:27) so that they may be rescued and abide in relationship with God (cf. 1 Timothy 2:4).
