Pros

Great work environment. Had access to brand new MacBook Pro computers and anything you could need to ensure you could complete your job. People were friendly and caring while you are an employee there.

Cons

Left on good terms with no bad blood. Staff have not reached out to check on me since I left. Once you are out, you are out. All those “lifelong” friends you worked with while you were there will move on if you no longer work there. It’s very much internally perceived as either you are “in the club” or you are “out of the club”. Very strict and demanding job. Goals are set extremely high must be reached and obtained without fail. If you fall short at all, it will affect your advancement and employment. Very much a “grind” culture. You must be in the top 120% at all times with little room for error. Very “uppidy” mentality held by a majority of employees. Very privileged and entitled co-workers. You must tithe at LEAST 10% or you will be in trouble. You are expected to work weekends. No work life balance at all.

Thank you for your feedback! You’re right: The work we’re called to do is demanding! We believe it’s the most important work we can do here on Earth. To do that work, it’s crucial to steward our time, energy, and resources well, and we encourage our staff members to do that in a variety of ways to avoid burnout. We rely heavily on volunteers to help push our mission forward, we provide very competitive benefits, and we offer a wide variety of learning opportunities to help team members make the most of what God has given them. We’re sorry your experience working here wasn’t as excellent as it could have been. We also understand leaving any workplace where you’ve created bonds can be difficult, but especially when the bonds are as strong as the ones the Life.Church team tends to build with each other and with attenders and volunteers. If you’re open to it, we’d love to help you get plugged back in, whether that’s by attending, visiting a LifeGroup, or through Church Online. If you have more specific ways we could get better at promoting a better work-life balance and you would like us to help you get reconnected we’d love to hear from you! Please shoot us an email at recruitment@life.church. Life is better together!

Pros

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.

Cons

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.
