cORE vALUES IN OUR LEADERSHIP TEAM AND PERSONNEL
Below you may review the core values we seek in the individuals who serve Christ as a part of the leadership team for North Roanoke.
· Others focused: having a God-given desire to deploy his/her knowledge, gifts, talents, and abilities for the benefit of their other team members and the families, members, and community they are called to serve. Being others focused does not mean forsaking family; others include one’s family, and we expect our leaders to take time for their family. We understand this means our leaders will use their vacation time and are not expected to attend every event hosted by the church.
· Gospel generosity: possessing a genuine and liberal eagerness to give of one’s time, talent, and resources as a model of Christ’s generosity toward us; rejecting the idea that merely giving a tenth or less – financially or otherwise – honors Christ who gave His all for us. We desire for our staff members what we desire for ourselves, people who are eager to give their all for the sake of Christ and the progress of His gospel deep into our lives, throughout our community, and around the world.
· Great-Commission minded: always keeping the task of making disciples of all nations in mind in full awareness that the local church is God’s Plan A for reaching the nations, and He has no plan B; always striving to find ways to align our activity, programming, service, and planning with the primary purpose of glorifying Christ by making disciples of all nations.
· Confessional alignment: having unapologetic theological agreement with the confessional statement of North Roanoke Baptist Church.
· Kingdom-driven: working with confidence that Christ is currently extending His Kingdom through His church and that He is glorified when His people endeavor to do bold things in His Name; always striving to improve and grow in the pursuit of excellence for Christ, willing to take risks and even “fail” for the sake of Christ and the progress of His gospel.
