Are you passionate about evangelizing young adults (age 18-30s) and forming them into missionary disciples in order to build up the Church and transform the world? The Assistant Mission Director works with the Mission Director to form a community of young adults in the South Bend area.

All programs are accomplished through developing leaders from within the local community.
