About The Position

This application is for short-term employment opportunities including Summer Camp Counselors, Operations Summer Hire, Athletics Summer Hire, and Internships. We are seeking energetic, hard-working seasonal employees who enjoy working as a team. Summer Camp employees must enjoy working with students and be willing to help with discipline, be willing to work outside, and be able to ensure all students remain safe while having fun. Mount Paran Christian School is a nondenominational, covenantal school that is unapologetically Christian in its mission, vision, and programs. All staff, students, and parents sign the following Statement of Faith identifying their shared commitment to the Christ-centered purpose of MPCS. The school expects that all faculty and staff will adhere to specific Christian ideals and standards as they relate to those who serve as ministers within the community, including identifying as Christians, recognizing the Bible as God's authoritative source, desiring to grow in knowledge and behavior, committing to regular church participation and personal faith disciplines, accepting the work as a personal calling, understanding they are part of a Christian community, being concerned for the welfare of others, assuming responsibility for their behavior, submitting to governing authorities, and recognizing redemption through Jesus Christ. Scriptural principles are foundational to life in the community, including living for God's glory, being motivated by love for Jesus, bearing responsibility of service, holding each other accountable, subordinating individual prerogatives for common goals, avoiding attitudes and behaviors condemned in Scripture (such as greed, lust, discrimination, theft, lying, premarital sex, homosexual behavior, etc.), honoring God in all actions, and understanding that marriage is between one man and one woman, and that gender identity is determined by God at conception.
