There's a lot of churches, honestly there's quite a few called Anthem 😂. So why would you want to work here? Glad you asked.
THE MISSION, VISION & STRATEGY
Since Anthem began in 2008, we knew Gainesville didn't need just another church. It needed a different kind of church. So since the very beginning, we've been focused on creating a church that unchurched people love to attend. Because of that focus, we will do things most churches won’t do to reach the people most churches don’t reach. Our mission fuels who we are and why we do what we do: To inspire people to follow Jesus. If you want a closer look at what we're about poke around on the website and check out this 1 pager here:

STAFF CULTURE
Anthem has a unique staff culture. There’s nothing better than doing something that's significant with people you love to do it with. We work hard and we laugh often. We love personality tests like I Said This, You Heard That, Working Genius, Myers Briggs and the Enneagram. You’ll often find us celebrating a staff anniversary or making a big deal about it when someone wins. We live out our staff values, not as something to aspire to that looks good on a wall, but actual values to be lived each and every day. We guard our culture and remind ourselves of who we are and want to be at every single staff meeting. Check out the behaviors and the questions we ask to help us stay on track.
Openhandedness: How are you choosing to hold tightly to God and loosely to everything else?
Replace Yourself: Who are you apprenticing/mentoring?
Make it Fun: How are you making Anthem an awesome place to work and serve at?
Collaborate: How are you leveraging the talent and skills of staff outside your area? How are you helping others on the staff team?
Celebrating Others: What are you doing to appreciate others and make a big deal of them?
The 2%: What are you doing to pursue excellence and surpass expectations in your area of ministry?
Rhythm & Balance: How are you managing your time and taking care of yourself physically, spiritually, relationally, financially and emotionally?
