A place I could see myself retire from! - Recensione dipendente - Senior Central Team Leader presso Life.Church

It's a mission centric workplace God is uniquely using to model what a healthy large church can be. Projects are unique and feedback and new ideas are listened to and processed. The talent that is attracted is diverse and passionate about the mission. Leadership is theologically conservative and knows that the preaching of sin and repentance are necessary Holy Spirit-led convictions which continue to lead thousands annually at Life.Church towards the salvation Jesus brings. Multiple touch points through the year for staff appreciation including the big Family Reunion. Benefits are the best you'll get working at a church. Leadership is accessible for a convo if you're not a jerk. Hard work is rewarded, sometimes slowly. You're cared about as a person made in the image of God, and as much as an employer can be expected to, they work to make sure you are supported personally going beyond the standard benefits if needed and approved by your leader. Working here asks more of your personal and family life than a non church job, and I think it should.

Some teams with high effectiveness are under-staffed and over evaluated. Some teams with low effectiveness are over-staffed and under evaluated. Biblical education and ministerial qualification upholding is thin, sometimes out of an abundance of worry to take a stance, or bias of leadership culture over pastoral qualifications that are outlined in Gods word. This should be the biggest long term red-flag for the health of the church. Some central staffers get entitled and forget what our pastors at campuses actually endure and provide for our church every week. The central team talent needed to build the next generation of the church inevitably has to have pay scales that closer compete with enterprise companies. Great leaders who should be promoted hit their cap because 1) of tenured leaders whose career no longer depends on performance, or 2) fixed org structures leadership doesn't want to touch.

I love serving at my church through the role of pastor. Caring for people who take time out of their busy day to serve God through LC is a privilege. Life.Church has great benefits (401K Match & insurance) too.

Culture varies wildly from campus to campus so you could have very different experiences depending where you land. The job is much more task driven than you would expect or were told. You are often asked to do things that are outside of your job description. If you think of it more as you are here to fully serve the church in any capacity they ask and you'll do great.
