It is an organization; in many ways, if you are hoping to work for a church, this may not be the one for you. Everything rises and falls on who your leader is. I've heard countless horror stories of leaders letting people go with little to no reason, and there have been proven inconsistencies regarding how HR handles matters. Work/life balance is rough, and in many seasons, you miss a lot of time with family IF YOU WORK ON A CAMPUS, which is why many people choose to apply for Central roles because it seems to be more flexible and not as taxing on your home life. They value leadership over pastoral care and discipleship. Many "pastors" on staff do not know how to be pastors because leadership drives the church and culture, and countless times, I have seen people leave, whether it was staff or attenders because they did not feel loved or cared for, valued, or heard. Ultimately it was a great place to work for a season; you will need to know that, just like any place, LC is not perfect. But depending on what you are hoping for, it could be a great fit.
