Paid Positions (no option for Associate)*
Consider whether you desire to come on staff as an employee receiving wages in return for the work you will be doing. Some people, due to life circumstances, are able to join our team as an Associate which in our organization is a volunteer, unpaid capacity. Some example life circumstances included retirement from another line of work, a spouse who supports your household, or employment and funding coming from another organization. Not every role can be filled with an Associate (volunteer) staff person. Based on what you now know and in consideration of what God may be calling you to do, please select Associated or Paid below.
