Freqently Asked Questions
At Center Lake Bible Camp, the Kitchen Manager role blends culinary oversight with ministry, requiring a commitment to Christian values. This means leading kitchen staff not only in food safety and preparation but also fostering a culture reflecting the camp’s gospel-centered mission.
Kitchen Managers in Tustin often juggle supervising food prep and enforcing health standards while actively coaching kitchen teams. Emphasis is placed on nurturing a positive, growth-oriented environment, particularly within faith-based organizations like CCCA.
Beyond culinary expertise, candidates need a heart for Christian hospitality, strong communication, and a willingness to engage in ministry. This combination ensures the kitchen manager can uphold both food service excellence and spiritual leadership.
Food safety certifications, such as Serve Safe, are essential and often mandatory. Local health regulations also shape training requirements, so staying updated with Michigan’s health department guidelines significantly boosts employability.
While Tustin’s smaller community means fewer openings, the demand for skilled kitchen managers aligned with faith-based missions is steady. This contrasts with bigger cities where competition is higher but roles may focus less on ministry integration.
This role uniquely combines culinary management with active Christian ministry, emphasizing spiritual growth alongside food service. It demands a candidate who embraces a dual purpose: operational excellence and gospel representation.
The camp provides structured ministry training sessions and encourages teamwork rooted in faith. Additionally, leadership support ensures the manager has resources to maintain kitchen standards and fulfill spiritual responsibilities effectively.
Full-time kitchen managers in Tustin, especially within nonprofit or faith-based camps, typically earn between $35,000 and $45,000 annually, depending on experience. This aligns with food service salaries in similar rural Michigan settings.
Daily tasks blend supervising meal prep, ordering supplies, and ensuring health compliance with fostering a welcoming atmosphere for guests. Flexibility is key, as the manager adjusts schedules to meet camp events and spiritual activities.
Managing fluctuating guest numbers, coordinating diverse kitchen staff schedules, and maintaining safety during busy seasons demand adaptability. The manager must also balance ministry duties, requiring sensitivity to both operational flow and spiritual engagement.
