*The Chapel desires to hire individuals who will benefit the ministry most effectively. We wish to hire persons of sound moral character who are highly qualified for the positions being filled.

We would expect employees of The Chapel to be believers and emulate the qualities expressed in 1Timothy 3:8-13. Although these are requirements for deacons and elders, they are certainly the standard for ministry, and as such, employees of the church would reflect these characteristics in their lives. Failure to fulfil these standards may affect continued employment at The Chapel.

We believe that in order to preserve the function and integrity of the church as a local Body of Christ, and to provide a Biblical role model to the church members and community, it is imperative that all persons employed by the church in any capacity, or who serve as volunteers, should abide by the statement of faith – Article X of our By-Laws in its entirety - and conduct themselves accordingly (2 John 1:9-11, Romans 16:17)
