Accounts Payable Specialist

About the role

At Elevation Church, we look to link arms in ministry with those who are passionate about stepping into their God-given calling. While we’re a staff from all different backgrounds and walks of life, our mission is the same - to reach people with the Gospel. We’re grounded in scripture and guided by our values, so check out our website (www.elevationchurch.org) to be sure you’re aligned before you step into the application process with us, particularly paying attention to our Beliefs and our Code. We’re a Sunday‑Thursday work environment: Monday‑Thursday we’re in the office 8:30 AM‑5 PM, and on Sunday we support the weekend worship experience either directly in our roles or by choosing a weekly serving opportunity at one of our campuses. The pace is fast‑paced and adaptable, with a culture that values hard work, fun, professional growth, and disciplined spiritual practices. We expect you to be disciplined in your spiritual practices — be in your Bible, spend time with the Lord in prayer, meditate on and apply the weekly sermon — and bring your full self to every project, conversation, and initiative.
