As a Staff Member

We are passionate as staff members, and we live a lifestyle that reflects the heart of Jesus. This means we seek to accomplish two things:

• To live in unity with a Christ-like attitude with the staff, volunteers and congregation.
• To live an intentional life that invests in and invites the community around us to know Jesus.

Life and Ministry

This is a full-time 40 hour per week position. We recognize that, at times, ministry can consume much of a person’s life. We seek to help each of our staff members find a balance in the ebb and flow of ministry and life outside of ministry. This being said, we look to provide a flexible schedule to provide this balance.
