Becca Bols

Summary
Mission-driven Administrator with 20 years of experience in all elements of organizational leadership and success in creating meaningful, engaging and efficient environments. Successful in overseeing community services, women's ministries, outreach and worship ministry. Light-hearted, Detail-oriented, team player with strong organizational and anayltical skills. Ability to handle multiple projects simultaneously with a high degree of accuracy, flexibility and positive attitude. Willingness to take on added responsibilities to meet team objectives.
I love people and teams. My favorite thing to do is to equip the saints for the work of the ministry, in all the ways He has uniquely wired them. I work currently PT in Consulting and part of our initiatives are to give the DiSC and 5 Working Genius tests to better access our team dynamics. I also have utilized spiritual gift tests for congregations and women ministries and helped facilitate equipping workshops and conferences.
I would love to be considered for either Assistant to Pastor or HR. I am extremely analytical, which helps vet applicants in a hiring process. I also worked with a Senior Pastor (My dad) for nearly 20 years in a variety of roles so I understand the dynamics of having someone you can depend on to delegate tasks to.
