FAQ's

DEVELUP is designed for recent college graduates or young adult leaders who take initiative, are willing to work hard, love to learn, and want to grow in their leadership, worship, or production abilities as they serve in a local church setting. Applicants should be recent high school or college graduates, with preference given to applicants with a bachelor’s degree.

Applicants should desire to work in a local church setting, have experience and proven leadership ability in their area of interest, be emotionally healthy and able to work in a fast-paced team environment, and be in support of LCBC’s Doctrinal Basis, Mission, and Values.

Interested applicants should complete LCBC’s online DEVELUP application for the program they’re interested in. Qualified applicants can expect online interview(s) with program directors and various LCBC staff members, followed by in-person interviews for final candidates.

DEVELUP is a full-time 40-45hr/week staff position. Each week will consist of personal development, relevant ministry team experience, engagement in various ministry environments and weekly planning, preparation, and prayer Monday through Thursday, as well as engagement in weekend ministry Saturday through Monday. The program begins in the third week of May annually.

DEVELUP staff members will be provided an entry-level salary, and a benefits package will be made available. Part-time employment outside of the DEVELUP program must be approved by the Program Director.

Completing the DEVELUP program does not obligate LCBC to provide a current or future staff position. However, based on each person’s growth and performance, the DEVELUP Program Director may serve as a reference towards a staff position at LCBC or another like-minded church.
