 FAQ’S

  • The short answer is that it helps! We’ve found that  people who serve at Southside, and even more so people who lead at Southside, have a deep passion to see Chilliwack changed one life, one story at a time.

    That passion is a way of life for our staff at Southside, so staff positions will most often be filled by volunteer leaders who live that out or, in some cases, applicants that exemplify it.

  • CHARACTER
    Does the applicant live their life, in person and in private, in a way that aligns with the beliefs, mission, vision  and values of Southside Church?

    COMPETENCE
    Does the applicant have the skills and abilities necessary to do the job?

    CHEMISTRY
    Does the applicant have a demeanour and personality that would work well with those of their prospective Direct Report and team?

    CULTURE
    Will the applicant fit and positively contribute to the current staff/Home Team culture of Southside Church?

What it’s all about…

Candidates for all employment positions must have surrendered their lives to Jesus, asking Him to be their personal Saviour and Lord. They must also have chosen to take their next step of baptism, as we believe that baptism is an outward expression of a believer’s inward commitment.

Core Values

Applicants must also actively live out the 7 Core Values of our Church:

  • Salvation

    Jesus Saves. Salvation isn't achieved, it’s received

  • Generosity

    The upside-down reality of the open-handed life. When it comes to our time, our talents, and our treasure we don't “got to” give, we “get to” give.

  • Invitation

    God loves all His children, and we do too. Like the Shepherd in Luke 15, we are willing to “leave the 99 to reach the 1.”

  • Excellence

    We choose to try. Our music, our preaching, our gatherings, our environments and our teams will be marked by an excellence that only comes through hard work.

  • Ownership

    This church does not exist for your comfort. You are this church, and we exist for the world.

  • Gratitude

    We won’t forget. Our attitudes, our relationships, our effort, our lives are marked by gratitude for what God has done for us.

  • Community

    We’re better together. We don’t heal in isolation, we heal in community. We don’t grow in isolation, we grow in community. We don’t thrive in isolation, we thrive in community.
