Faith Fit
The Director is responsible to determine the ‘faith fit’ of prospective staff members. If a prospective staff member belongs to a denomination whose teachings are at variance with DL’s Statement of Faith, Heritage, or other statements of biblical convictions as expressed in the staff application, the director will probe those differences as part of the hiring process to determine harmony with DL’s commitments.2
Maturity
While there may be different levels of maturity of faith expression exhibited in different staff positions, all staff must hold to both DL’s Statement of Faith and Statement of Faith Heritage & Practice without reservation, as well as other statements of biblical conviction that are expressed in the staff application. Exceptions to this will be rare and at the discretion of the Director and with the knowledge of the Board.
