The Big Picture

The Church

This area is a mission field, being in the seventh least churched county in the nation.

We highly recommend reading Simple Church by Rainer and Silos, Politics and Turf Wars by Lencioni to get an idea of our model. With that said, the man we’re looking for will have expertise in the areas of worship, family ministries and outreach, as well as ready to serve in whatever capacity is needed. Competitive full-time salary for our area and size.
