About the Employer

Have you ever felt that our Church could do more? That working in evangelization requires faithfulness and trust in God's providence, but also a lot of passion, hard work, and creativity? Jesus invites all of us to "Come, follow me." There's no set formula or preordained path which shows us how to respond to this invitation, but we must respond, nonetheless.

In the spirit of the New Evangelization - of "re-proposing" the Gospel in dynamic ways - here at Verso Ministries we strive to create unique opportunities for people to encounter Jesus on pilgrimage. If you want to be part of an exciting and animated environment - where every day there's a new challenge - then our team might be for you.
