Join Our Team
The mission for Onward staff is to:
increase the capacity and opportunity for Onward members to fulfill their ministry.
We are a team that knows we are not capable of anything of value apart from Christ (John 15:5).
Life at Onward
Hint: put the first letter of each word together and it spells Onward.

We take responsibility for our actions, decisions, feelings, and mistakes. Know your why and your why not.
Proverbs 24:16
Humility marks us. We don’t think less of ourselves, we just think of ourselves less. Our attitude is “there you are,” not “here I am.”
Mark 10:45
Our King and His people deserve our best. We strive for excellence and competence in every area. We are hungry for feedback that will make us better.
Proverbs 22:29
We adapt with positive attitudes to change and challenges. We bend but don’t break. We view obstacles as opportunities to trust God, learn new things, and find creative solutions.
James 1:2-4
We have a culture of fun. We don’t take ourselves too seriously. We make memories. Ultimately, we create the kind of team we want to be a part of.
Proverbs 17:22
We declare the goodness of God by sharing stories of what He is actively doing in and through Onward. Stories are our fuel!
Psalm 66:5
Life at Onward
We cannot give from an empty place. A question we pray our staff can answer ‘yes’ to is that they know and love Jesus more during their time at Onward. We invest in spiritual growth through:
*Weekly Staff Prayer & Devotional
*Fifth Tuesday Spiritual Mornings Away
*All new staff reads Lead by Paul David Tripp
*Manager 1:1’s with spiritual focus
You have one life, how will you steward what God’s given you? We want to help you develop and grow professionally. We do this through:
*Lead/Develop/Care Management Model
*On the Job Coaching & 1:1’s
*Annual Birkman Assessment & Group Coaching
*Training Budget
We have fun with the people we work with. A team that has fun together is more resilient. We know how to work hard and play hard. This includes:
*Staff Retreats
*Staff Christmas Party
*March Madness Competition
*Impromptu competitions (we’ll fill you in on campus golf)
