The St. John’s Ministries leadership team has an opening for a Controller.

About St. John’s Ministries:

St. John’s Ministries’ mission is to honor the dignity, restore hope, and create lasting change for those experiencing homelessness or housing instability in the Green Bay community. We provide services across four locations. At our two seasonal emergency shelters of last resort, we provide adults experiencing homelessness with a safe place to sleep during the harsh winter months. At the Micah Center and Wellspring, our two daytime resource centers, we equip adults experiencing homelessness – as well as community members at-risk – with the tools to achieve self-sufficiency.

At St. John’s Ministries, we believe each person is unique, with the same inherent worth as the day they were born. We meet each of our guests right where they are at and walk alongside them on their journey. Our vision is that through a spirit of familiarity, rapport, and trust, each person will leave better than they came.
