DESCRIPTION- Supervisor:

Building Superintendent Hours:

up to 25 hours per week, as per published schedule

General Requirements:

• All FUMC staff are part of the total Ministry Team and, as such, must have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, a call to serve Him in the area of their position, and the ability to clearly articulate both.
• Where applicable, all FUMC staff are hired not only to fulfill a specific ministry function but also to expand the number of disciples through mobilizing and equipping others who have a related call to ministry.

"Since an overseer manages God's household, he must be blameless—not overbearing, not quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not pursuing dishonest gain. Rather, he must be hospitable, one who loves what is good, who is self-controlled, upright, holy, and disciplined. He must hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it."
