church secretary

Congregation's office manager

A church secretary is the administrative staff member who handles a congregation's day-to-day office work—managing correspondence, preparing bulletins, maintaining membership records, and coordinating schedules.

The role often involves being the primary point of contact for parishioners and visitors: Call the church secretary to reserve the fellowship hall.

Despite the title, the position may involve substantial organizational responsibility.
