Job Opening: Wednesday Night Supper Coordinator
The Wednesday Night Supper Coordinator oversees one of the most cherished fellowship rhythms of congregational life at Fairhope United Methodist Church: the shared meal that gathers families, children, and members of every age around the table before Wednesday evening programming. This role owns the full lifecycle of each week’s supper — from planning the menu and ordering food within budget, to preparing and cooking the meal alongside a team of volunteers, to serving it warmly and ensuring the kitchen is left clean and ready for the next gathering.
The program runs for twenty-five Wednesday evenings from September through April, with breaks observed around the holidays. This is a hands-on, hospitality-driven role that blends practical kitchen skill, careful stewardship of a weekly budget, and the coordination of a faithful team of volunteers. The ideal candidate is someone who finds joy in feeding people, takes pride in a well-run kitchen, and understands that a good meal is one of the most tangible ways a church says, “You belong here.”

Where to Start
1: Plan A Visit
We hope you will explore everything we offer online, and maybe watch a service or two on our YouTube page, but the best way to experience Fairhope UMC is in person! Our "What to Expect" page has all you need to know about how to find our parking lot, what to do when you're there, and how to make sure any kids in your family can all experience God's grace as you join us for worship.
2: Coffee With the Pastors
Join us on the second Sunday of every month in the front room of our Christian Life Center for a relaxed time to introduce yourself, meet a few members of the church, and talk with our pastors about all the questions you've wanted to know but haven't known how to ask.
3: Pray To Love Boldly
At "Coffee With the Pastors," you'll receive a copy of To Love Boldly, our six-session devotional prayer guide. As you consider joining the church, we invite you to pause, pray, and reflect on what it means to follow Jesus with courage, compassion, and purpose.
Each session is brief—you can complete one a day or all at once. When you're ready, choose a Sunday to join our community of people who have committed their lives to loving boldly, casting the light of Jesus into the world.
LOVE BOLDLY, THROUGH THICK AND THIN
Group Life
Our Sunday School hour (9:30AM-10:45AM) is the hub of our community life for adults, but we have other groups that meet throughout the week—Bible studies, support groups, men’s and women’s gatherings.
Youth and children groups meet on Sundays and Wednesdays, with special events throughout the year.
LOVE ONE ANOTHER, BOLDLY
Service Teams
When we serve together, we grow together, and that’s where true community happens.
LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR, BOLDLY
Life and Community Transformation
Located at the heart of Fairhope, blessing our neighbors is at the heart of who we are, but we are also called to extend blessings far and wide. Our Community Cafe, recreation ministries, and missions (both local and overseas) make a tangible difference throughout the year. We also partner with other local ministries, as well as schools, nonprofits, and service organizations who meet real needs in our community and around the world. These partnerships allow us to live out the Gospel in meaningful relationships beyond our walls.
