Each ministry of the church is important to the overall fulfillment of the vision of the church. Preaching, Music, Education, Mission/Outreach, Membership/Fellowship all have a vital purpose. The support for all these worthy ministries is solid, secure, and effective administration of the resources of the church.
Administration includes overseeing the personnel, finances and property of the church. Effective staffing, financial stability and prudent management of the finances of the church and safe and secure property management can provide the infrastructural core of the church.
Personnel – A healthy work environment at the church allows for productive, supportive and satisfied clergy and staff. Staff structure review and work responsibilities are important to revisit over time as the vision and direction of the church change to meet the needs of the congregation.
Finances – The three aspects of Finance (Annual Stewardship, Special Projects, Legacy/Planned Giving) need to be engaging, dependable, and accessible to members and friends of the church.
Property – Maintaining, enhancing and protecting the physical property of the church is important in terms of appearance and to ensure the safety and security for congregation and staff.
We can help in all aspects of Administration to make your Ministry of Administration a partner with all the other ministries in realizing your overall purpose.
