OUR STAFF CULTURE: 

We have monthly staff meetings that are sometimes about getting stuff done and are occasionally about just enjoying each other’s company. Our Creative Arts team makes a point of getting out of the building together for planning. There are a wide variety of options available for staff development. We’ve helped people with furthering their education and spiritual growth. The worship leader would help us build community but also be a part of a strong community.
