We are passionate about reaching college students and planting churches, which means we are passionate about reaching, raising up and releasing the next generation of leaders!</span></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold\">LINKS</span></p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http://www.thecommonschurch.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt\">The Commons Church Website  </span></a></li>\n<li><a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/thecommonsmi/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt\">The Commons Church Instagram</span></a></li>\n<li><a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/saltmsu/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt\">The Salt Company - Michigan State Instagram</span></a></li>\n<li><a href=\"https://thesaltnetwork.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt\">The Salt Network Website</span></a></li>\n</ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\"><br></span><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\"><span style=\"font-size: 28px\">Worship Leader</span></span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\"><em><span style=\"font-size: 18px\">Job Description</span></em></span></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px\">MISSION:</span></span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 15px\">Our mission is to help people take their next step with Jesus</span></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px\">CHURCH ORGANIZATIONAL VALUES: </span></span></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\"><span style=\"color: #999999; font-size: 16px\">THE GOSPEL</span></span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px\">Jesus is the main thing and always will be.</span></span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 15px\">We don't mean to over-simplify it, but it's really that simple. If you come to our church, you're going to hear a lot about Jesus.
