Lead Maintenance Position
Why Hanging Rock Exists: We exist to build relationships and impact lives for Jesus Christ. Jesus was incredibly relational; he cared deeply for people and spent time investing in their lives. We want every camper, volunteer, and staff member that comes to Hanging Rock to feel at home, to be individually known, and to grow deeper in love with their God. So, we intentionally establish and strengthen Relationships with Christ.
What to Expect: Hanging Rock has approximately 208 acres and several buildings. Last summer, we had 2,773 campers. We have two pools and a waste treatment plant. We do take pride in our property and like to see everything is well maintained. You can expect a team environment.
A Message from Gary Baker, Executive Director: As the Executive Director of Hanging Rock Christian Camp, I have the privilege of witnessing firsthand how God uses this place to change lives. Every year, thousands of campers, leaders, and volunteers come through our gates representing nearly 70 supporting churches across Indiana and Illinois. What makes this ministry possible is not just the programs or the schedule—it’s the people who faithfully steward this place behind the scenes. That is why the Lead Maintenance position is not simply a job. It is a calling. It is an opportunity to directly impact ministry by preparing an environment where others can encounter Christ.
One of the most unique and rewarding aspects of serving at Hanging Rock is that no two days are ever the same. There is deep purpose in working with your hands to improve and care for the facilities that serve so many. Every repaired cabin, every prepared retreat space, every maintained trail or cleaned building becomes part of someone’s story—someone who may experience spiritual renewal, life change, or even salvation during their time here. The Lead Maintenance role plays a vital leadership part in ensuring that our grounds and facilities reflect excellence, hospitality, and readiness for ministry. This work goes far beyond maintenance—it is an act of service that enables life transformation in others.
Camp ministry requires dedication, perseverance, and a servant’s heart. There are long days, unexpected challenges, and constant needs. But those who truly love camp ministry understand that the work they do has eternal significance. They see beyond the task in front of them and recognize the greater mission it serves. They take pride in knowing that their effort helps create a place where a young person might surrender their life to Christ, where a church might grow stronger, or where someone might rediscover their faith. There is no greater reward than knowing your work has helped make those moments possible.
At Hanging Rock, we are looking for someone who loves the Lord Jesus Christ, who believes deeply in the mission of establishing & strengthening lives in Christ, and who desires to use their skills to serve others. We need someone with vision—someone who can help us not only maintain what we have but continually improve it for the next generation. This role requires strong work ethic, initiative, leadership, and a genuine passion for ministry. But for the right person, it offers something far greater than a career. It offers the opportunity to live out your faith daily through meaningful, hands-on service that advances God’s Kingdom.
If you feel called to use your gifts in a way that directly supports life-changing ministry, I invite you to prayerfully consider applying for the Lead Maintenance position at Hanging Rock Christian Camp. This is more than an opportunity to work—it is an opportunity to serve, to grow, and to be part of something eternally significant. Few roles offer the privilege of seeing your daily efforts contribute so directly to the transformation of lives. It would be my honor to serve alongside you in this ministry.
In Christ,
Gary Baker
Executive Director
Hanging Rock Christian Camp
