A note about the ministry staff schedule from the current pastor, Joel Strahan: The weekly schedule is flexible and managed by ministry staff mutual agreement. The reality of a ministry schedule is that we have more to do than can possibly get done in 40 hrs each week. Most weeks, we work more than 40 hrs. When we need rest, we get rest. The culture of our ministry staff does not require us to “punch a clock.” However, we commit to each other to work hard in order to accomplish ministry needs. Concerning the flexibility of our work schedule, no staff is ever unaccounted for during the work week. Any change to our ministry schedule is mutually agreed upon by the entire ministry staff.
