Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO)

The Church is an equal opportunity employer. All applicants will be considered for employment without attention to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, veteran or disability status.

Religious corporations, associations, educational institutions, or societies are exempt from the federal laws that EEOC enforces when it comes to the employment of individuals based on their particular religion if the requirement is a bona fide occupational qualification (BFOQ). In other words, an employer whose purpose and character is primarily religious is permitted to lean towards hiring persons of the same religion for positions requiring religious affiliation (e.g., minister, rabbi, priest, imam, or pastor). This exception relieves religious organizations only from the ban on employment discrimination based on religion. It does not exempt such organizations from employing individuals due to their race, gender, national origin, disability, color, and/or age. Other employers should avoid questions about an applicant’s religious affiliation, such as place of worship, days of worship, and religious holidays and should not ask for references from religious leaders.
