• Strong interpersonal skills with an approachable, non-hierarchical style of ministry are the preferred style of approach toward our congregants.
• Humility, honesty, and integrity as central personal characteristics, including the ability to adapt to the local church culture in an attitude of service rather than celebrity-seeking.
• A demonstration of ongoing commitment to professional development and to staying on top of current credible trends in faith and culture, including a demonstrated awareness of the harms of abusive leadership styles and teachings.
• A physical and skill capacity to deal with building issues as they arise is advantageous but not necessary.
