Please see the Human Resources Ministry team if you have questions on whether you are subject to the ministerial exception.Code of ConductWe live authenticity We are gospel-centered and mission-focusedWe are familyWe are lifelong learnersWe aim for excellence in the experience with zero excessWe choose to trustWe pray 1st and decide 2nd We glorify God by honoring othersOur team unites under clear visionWe walk in humble confidence EEO StatementThe Church of Eleven22 provides equal employment opportunities to all employees and applicants for employment and prohibits discrimination and harassment of any type without regard to race, color, age, sex, national origin, disability status, genetics, protected veteran status or any other characteristic protected by federal, state or local laws.
