Job Description

Salary: $50K - $70K DOE

At VRL we make disciples who make disciple-makers for Jesus. As VRL staff you are a critical part of that process. Your job will be tied to the values that help us to become and make disciples of Jesus as we:

• Abide in Christ 
• Create a Relational Culture
• Connect the Unconnected 
• Equip Volunteers to Serve
• Share Christ with Others
• Strive to make it Better

To hear from our Lead Pastor, click here:

It is expected that those on staff model the following for our congregation:

Abide in Christ

1. 1. Personally: There is an expectation that you will have a regular and growing/deepening relationship with Jesus Christ through prayer, His Word, etc.
   2. Ministry: It is expected that you will lead your team (volunteer and/or staff) not only in the work, but also encouraging them in their walk with Christ.

This could be prayer huddles each week, a verse sent out each week to your team, etc.

Attend Monday 9am prayer meetings weekly with the rest of the staff.

Create a relational culture

Personally: That you would honor and deal with things relationally the way that Jesus modeled and dealt with things. The world will know we are Christians by our love for one another.

Serve more than you receive.

Ministry: We expect you as part of your job to engage relationally with others on staff and in our congregation. The world will know we are disciples by our love for one another.

If you have a problem with other staff or anyone in our church, talk directly to that person first.

Attend monthly staff meetings.

Connect the unconnected

Personally: We expect that you will be in a small group during the week as we would expect that of any member of our church.

Ministry: Participate in helping people to move from large environments to smaller discipleship environments.

Equip volunteers to serve

Personally: Spend time in prayer for God to provide workers for you and VRL. In addition, you will personally find people to serve in our church, even if it’s not your own area.

Ministry. We expect that you are not hired to just do the job, but that your primary responsibility is to get the job done with the involvement, recruitment and equipping of volunteers.

Share Christ with others

Personally: There is an expectation that in word and deed outside of these walls you will introduce people to Jesus Christ by your words and actions. Specifically praying and looking for opportunities in your sphere of relational influence.

Ministry: It is expected that you see how your ministry is reaching out directly or indirectly to those who don’t yet know Jesus Christ or are disconnected from VRL. (E.g. You’re not just cutting flyers as an admin, but those flyers will be used in people’s hands as a tool to invite others to experience Jesus.)

Strive to make it better

Personally: In your home life and outside these walls, we do everything to glorify God, so do your best as unto the Lord. Have a great work ethic and model grit because of your dependence on Him.

Ministry: We expect that you will look at ways on a regular basis for how you, with God’s leading and volunteers, can make the environment that you serve in better. Also, that you would look at other areas and make loving comments on how they could strive to make it better in their area and that you are open to them doing the same for you.
