Staff Culture
We believe we are better together, and our best ideas, problem-solving, and synergy come when we are working together in community and collaboration. As a Church, it is our priority to not lose sight of the mission we are called to. This is why we prioritize a culture of being daily available, present, productive, and in-person, while still leaving space for flexibility.
Our team values keep us focused on how we approach our work day and face challenges that may arise.

Apply
Our team will review it and see if your skills and experience fit the role.
Screening Process
A member of the HR team will reach out and schedule a time for a video call to get to know you a little better. They will want to hear about your relationship with Jesus and what drew you to the role. This is an opportunity for you to ask general questions around what it's like to be a team member at River Valley Church.
Interview #1
This will be our first opportunity to meet you in person (when possible) and get to know you a little more. You will be asked a variety of questions based on your past job experiences and what you will bring to this specific role. This is also a great time to ask questions about the role to someone in that department/team.
Assessing Skills and Gifts
When applicable, we may ask you to engage in a tool(s) we use to help evaluate your skill set in a tangible way. This may be by performing speck work, completing an assessment, or other similar tools.
Interview #2
This interview will be focused on diving deeper into your style and approach to work as well as how you work together with a team. For Pastoral roles, we will discuss theological similarities and potential differences to ensure we are aligned in our approach to ministry.
Offer Letter
Once we have made our decision, we will send you a written offer letter with full salary and benefit information. Now it will be up to you to pray through that offer and decide if you also have a "yes".
