You Belong Here!
Cultivating and maintaining a healthy staff culture is one of our top priorities here at Venture. We want our staff members to be healthy followers of Jesus first – and ministers second. In addition to intentional development and camaraderie within each ministry team, our staff from all campuses gather together once a month (sometimes more) for staff rallies where we worship, hear vision from leadership, build relationships, eat, play, and more. It’s our goal to make sure that serving here is not only fulfilling – it’s fun!
