STAFF PHILOSOPHY Purpose and Mission - Our purpose in everything we do at Eastpark is to glorify God (1 Cor 10:31). The Mission of Eastpark Church is to see people transformed by Jesus as we proclaim the gospel with our words and our lives. Every staff appointment is made for that reason and with that focus.
Principle of Work - all work is spiritual when done as worship to God. 'Church work' is not more 'spiritual'. The primary philosophy of staffing is to mobilize and nurture the gifts and abilities of others (Rom 12:1; 1 Cor 10:31; Eph 4:11 12).
Perspective - Jesus is the hope of the world so we take the opportunity to serve Christ in the church very seriously. We are committed to doing everything diligently, in a manner and style that is contemporary and relevant, to a standard of excellence that honors Him (1 Cor 10:31).
Job Satisfaction - we are committed to being an excellent employer committed to best practices and to providing a healthy, satisfying and encouraging work environment where each staff member shares responsibility for the morale and relationships in the office (1 Pet 2:12).
Attitude - God gives us the strength to do whatever he wants done, so we are committed to having a positive 'can do' attitude (Phi 4:13).
Fun - God loves laughter and celebration. Our goal is for the staff culture to reflect God's character and personality, so we will be relaxed, have fun, and celebrate the successes he gives us (Ps 126; Lu 15:10,22 25).
Team Work - the staff work together to promote and reinforce the leadership culture and climate at Eastpark Church. Rom 12:4 6a; 1 Cor 3:5 9; 1 Cor 12:4 7; Eph 4:11 13). TO APPLY Email lois.zirbel@eastpark.org resume/2online examples of your teaching
