Work at Willow
Join our Staff Team!
Willow Creek is a place where you can make a significant impact for God’s kingdom based on how He has uniquely designed you. You’ll have the opportunity to lead the people around you to become more like Jesus and show His tangible love locally and globally. This isn’t just a job—you’ll have the chance to grow in all areas of your life (spiritually, emotionally, and relationally) through ongoing development and training while making a difference in our community.
We are looking to hire exceptional men and women hungry to grow holistically and help our ministries thrive. You have unique gifts, talents, and passions—and you might be a fantastic fit at Willow. Could it be in student ministry, compassion & justice, guest experience, group life, kids ministry, marketing & communications, arts & worship, operations, finance, or somewhere else?
It’s your one and only life. Invest it well.
How will God use you?
