Central Ministries Staff Application

1
This isn’t just a job, it’s a calling. At Central Ministries our staff are risk-taking, spiritual contributors who work hard, honor God with integrity, fight for unity, serve with humility and spread joy with their attitudes. We are mutually broken individuals who find restoration in Christ and are passionate about helping restore our community and the world. Our life and our work are focused around one thing: helping people fall more in love with Jesus and the things that are important to Jesus.
