Pastoral staff

Suggestions for staff or readiness for a lead pastor or self- improvement — all normal in many churches….

Pastoral staff
…. All operate by a “master schedule.”
…. Written reports to one you report to, every two weeks (see sample). …. Attend all staff meetings, unless excused.
…. Do not handle cash from people of the church.
…. Have true discipleship group of 4-6 men meeting at least twice a month.

Scripture text that meets the heart, not discipleship books that simply fill in the blank with facts.
…. Greet on Sundays before and after services.
…. Sign the statement of faith and “staff agreement” every year.
…. Be reviewed by one report to every year.
…. Have salary reviewed every year by one report to and senior staff.
…. Senior is reviewed every year by the board of oversight. (A standard review guide.) …. Report to finance person any personal gift over $100 (or set amount).

Help with “school spirit”
…. Always participate out loud in staff prayer.
…. At meetings on time.
…. Offenses handled one on one.
…. Attend all worship services and sit toward front.
…. Appreciation and thanks to other staff.
…. One on one promise to senior when he arrives, and asking for suggestions. ….Positive demeanor at staff meetings.
