Houseparents must have a close walk with Jesus in order to successfully carry out theresponsibilities and work in unity with fellow team members.
Collaboration: Houseparents are a part of a broader ministry team, and as such, one must be exceptional team players who have a genuine willingness to serve in areas outside of the normal houseparent roles to assist others on campus when the need arises. This includes tutoring in the classrooms, participating in community activities on campus, and welcoming others such as supporters or those touring the campus into the home with a hospitable, open-door mentality. Houseparents also assist with the ministry’s marketing, communications, and fundraising efforts in various ways.
