others (Rom 12:1; 1 Cor 10:31; Eph 4:11-12)

church very seriously. We are committed to doing everything diligently, in a manner and style that

is contemporary and relevant, to a standard of excellence that honors Him (1 Cor 10:31)

Job Satisfaction – we are committed to being an excellent employer committed to best practices

and to providing a healthy, satisfying and encouraging work environment where each staff

member shares responsibility for the morale and relationships in the office (1 Pet 2:12)

Attitude – God gives us the strength to do whatever he wants done, so we are committed to

having a positive ‘can-do' attitude (Phi 4:13)

Fun – God loves laughter and celebration. Our goal is for the staff culture to reflect God's

character and personality, so we will be relaxed, have fun, and celebrate the successes he gives

us (Ps 126; Lu 15:10,22-25)

Team Work – the staff work together to promote and reinforce the leadership culture and climate

at Eastpark Church. We must be good team players, committed to each other and to working

together to achieve the overall vision (Rom 12:4-6a; 1 Cor 3:5-9; 1 Cor 12:4-7; Eph 4:11-13)
