Overview

Our mission at Chapel Hill Bible Church is to equip our church as a community to reach the Triangle and beyond with the message of Jesus. The Facilities Manager joins the broader Ministry Operations team in accomplishing this through ensuring quality and efficiency in our daily operations.


Ever since the Garden of Eden, environments have been an important part of how God relates to his people, and today is no different. Therefore, the Facilities Manager seeks to provide great environments for our ministries, so that they can be as effective as possible in transforming and equipping our congregation. This requires constantly evaluating the functionality and feel of our environments, policies, and procedures from the perspective of our church body.
