Staffing News

A few updates on our church staff front.  Our goal is keep our staff to attendance ratio at about 1 staff person for every 100-125 in worship.  This keeps us "volunteer driven" but doesn't burn our staff out.

NEW Small Groups/Discipleship Pastor: Jay Ashlock

We've been praying and working to fill this position since last Fall.  Several dead ends led us to a place of really intense prayer.  The result was a VERY unified sense that we call one of our own members, Jay Ashlock, to become our Small Groups & Discipleship Pastor.  God's hand was all over this both in Jay's own life and in our church.  Jay is from the Dalton area, loves Rock Bridge, and is passionate about helping people connect.   He starts July 1st.

Chatsworth Campus Pastor: Gus Waters

Many people know but we're moving Gus out of Children's Ministry and into the Campus Pastor role for our Chatsworth Campus.  Gus lives in Murray County, is passionate about reaching lost/unchurched people, and has served on our staff already for 2+ years.  God's providence in Gus' life to bring him to this place of ministry is absolutely amazing.  There is NO DOUBT ABOUT IT!!

Children's Ministry Intern: Delancey Dantzler

So with Gus leaving Children's ministry we had a gap in our elementary school programming.  Delancey is coming on as an intern to work with children's large group programming (all campuses) and volunteers (Dalton campus) in our grade school areas.  Delancey is super creative and is excited to join the team.  We're excited to have her!

CAMPUS STAFF: CHATSWORTH & CALHOUN

We're still sorting through how we will staff our multi-sites but right now here's what we are praying toward and considering:

• Chatsworth Worship Leader; Children's Minister; Student Minister (all part time)


• Calhoun Student Minister (part-time)

Each of these areas is part of what we call the "core" ministries of our church and we believe each site should have these ministries running full throttle at launch whenever possible.
