Some Things To Know About Rome:
Shorter Avenue is a medium sized Southern Baptist church located in beautiful Rome Georgia. Rome is a wonderful place to call home. It has the benefits of a larger town with a small town feel. We are located one hour north of Atlanta and one hour south of Chattanooga. We are a regional medical area with two major hospitals and medical clinics. This is a wonderful area to raise your children with great schools and plenty of entertainment.

This church is one who puts a lot of emphasis on its choir. We currently have approximately 20-35 regular members, with potential to grow. We have two accompanist, a pianist and organist, but have currently unused musical talent within the congregation. We need someone who can help develop this talent and be enthusiastically contagious.

This person needs to be called to these areas and have working knowledge of these areas. We are looking for someone who is serious about Gods Word and has a daily quiet time; someone who loves and is passionate about Sunday school and discipleship.

This person needs to be able to work closely with the pastor and the rest of the staff. We are a team and expect to work as one. We conduct staff meetings once a week and expect the staff to attend and participate unless providentially hindered.
