at JustFaith Ministries

🏢 About JustFaith Ministries

JustFaith Ministries is a unique faith-based organization that integrates spiritual formation with concrete social justice action, specifically focusing on anti-racism and community engagement. Unlike generic nonprofits, they operate through a structured membership network and programs that transform participants' perspectives on justice issues. Someone would want to work here to contribute to meaningful systemic change while being part of a values-driven community.

About This Role

This Communications Assistant role involves creating all marketing, development, and membership communications across electronic, print, digital, and social media platforms while ensuring alignment with anti-racism values. You'll design program materials using Canva/InDesign and execute targeted campaigns that directly support community engagement initiatives. This role is impactful because your communications will shape how members and the public understand and participate in social justice work.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve designing social media graphics for an upcoming anti-racism program using Canva, formatting a print newsletter for their membership network in InDesign, and coordinating email communications about community engagement events through Google Workspace. You'd ensure all materials consistently reflect their values while meeting deadlines for multiple program teams.
