Pros

Competitive Pay for a ministry job, benefits, PTO

Cons

As someone who was at Life.Church for over 5 years, I believed I would be there forever. When you’re in it, you feel like working there is amazing. It was my dream job. Campus life is completely different from Central life and depending on who you get as a campus pastor really determines how far you’ll go. My campus pastor unfortunately ran the church like a business instead of actually pastoring their staff. They cared more about finding perfection in people fitting the culture than truly caring about the individual. I walked into work every day feeling like I was making a difference but my leader never acknowledged that. I wasn’t pastored. I wasn’t met with grace. I was used for my gifts and never poured into from my leader. I believed in Life.Church for so long, but when you have leaders like that pretty high up in the organization, you’re going to lose people who are truly in it for Jesus and passionate about pouring into people.

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.
