Soft factor question
Posted: Thu Aug 06, 2015 11:24 pm
For 3 years during college I was an elected member of my church's congregational council. We made hiring decisions (hired a new pastor during my term) along with occasional 6-figure budget and building decisions. Considering that it was an elected position (I actually did "run" against somebody) with significant responsibility, should I list this? It seems like an obvious boost, but I'm curious if the religious aspect will be in any way alienating or detrimental. We're ELCA Lutheran so it's pretty middle-of-the-road non-offensive (I hope) normal church stuff. Any reason not to list this significant leadership role? I also play bass for my church, so I'll throw that in there if I list the congregational council part.
