From the first moment I walked into OurCalling, I experienced a team who cares for the least of these with dignity and the love of Jesus.
Sparked by the loss of countless friends who’ve died on the streets over OurCalling’s 15-year history, this Executive Director will be on the ground floor pioneering a residential community with all-inclusive on-site services for the most vulnerable homeless neighbors in Dallas. Situated on 280 acres just south of Dallas, in Ferris, OurCommunity is designed to provide long-term, comprehensive, and relational care for our most vulnerable homeless neighbors who need a final earthly home.
Rarely does an Executive Director have the opportunity to build a new and groundbreaking community while at the same time be fully supported by an Executive Leadership team and financial resources to make it a reality.
OurCommunity is a new ministry of OurCalling, an extension of what we have been doing for many years. This community will be an expression of the vision of OurCalling.
OurCommunity will be specifically focused on housing and caring for formerly homeless individuals in a fully supported tiny home community. We are in the early stages of building a team to operate this new tiny home community outside of the city limits of Ferris, TX, on 280 acres. The first neighborhood (25 homes and clubhouse) is tentatively scheduled to be ready Summer, 2025.
The Executive Director (ED) will be responsible for executing the strategic vision, managing day-to-day operations, fundraising, and ensuring the overall success and sustainability of OurCommunity Ferris. Their leadership will play a crucial role in empowering residents, fostering a supportive community environment, and working collaboratively with stakeholders to achieve the organization’s mission.
