As you discover the different areas where you could join us, you’ll also gain a little insight into the structure of Pacific Reach.

Each team carries unique responsibilities, but we all work together to fulfil the goal of Pacific Reach: to know God and make God known, mobilizing young people into missions.

Medical
Medical missions has always been a strong part of Pacific Reach with over $4,000,000 worth of medical services provided to the poor and needy in cities and remote island communities in the last 30 years of ministry through our DTS and medical teams. And that calling is getting stronger to this day with the Family Care Centre, our newly built medical facility in Vanuatu. The FCC has a medical clinic, a diagnostic lab, and a dental clinic. Between the Medical Compassion DTS, the Family Care Centre, and the potential for new medical initiatives we are always keen to see either medically trained or compassionate staff join our team!
Finance & Public Relations
Behind the scenes, our Finance and Public Relations teams work toward keeping all the technical infrastructure of Pacific Reach running smoothly. Whether it’s making sure our website is up to date, serving in our accounts department, or telling the stories of Pacific Reach on social media, our Finance and Public Relations Teams handle many of the technical and public-facing aspects of our Ministry!
Here’s a list of the different departments within the Finance & Public Relations Teams:
- Accounts (Bookkeeping, invoicing, payments)
- Marketing (Digital & Print)
