Draw others into Christian community,
Respond to need with care,
Proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ, and
Nurture others and self.

Want to draw others into ministry,
Want to build relationships and community,
Want to reach out to the unchurched, marginalized and alienated, and
Have dreams for what the church can be.

Demonstrate a strong Christian faith,
Are flexible and resilient,
Are motivated self starters, and
Are committed to a growing ELCA.

Focus on invitation and vision,
Model and support servant leadership,
Involve others in rethinking ministry, and
Utilize the gifts of the Spirit to bring others to Christ.

Are excited by Jesus’ call to ministry,
Use their God-given gifts,
Become catalysts for transformation, and
Work with all, regardless of race, culture or sexual orientation.
