Keeping a
ministry running smoothly involves
finding the right people who have a
gift of administration. Over my
years of ministry, God has helped me to
cultivate my gift of administration in
significant ways.
Early in my
career as a Christian School Principal
and as a staff pastor, my wife and I
set out to organize and streamline
several inefficient systems in the
school. We automated the entire
school management process by building a
network infrastructure that allowed for
accounting, grades, student records,
and all the other school files to be
managed through computers. We
expanded and reorganized our student
and faculty handbooks, became proactive
in managing inventories of textbooks,
supplies, and furnishing, and made sure
that the school and church complied
with all local and federal laws
regarding human resource issues.
In the
church where I presently serve, I have
continued to look for ways to improve
the work flow and the environment both
in our church office and with our
volunteers. Communication has
greatly increased, calendars, forms,
and other necessary paperwork are
increasingly being organized in a way
that makes them easily available
through our website or our office.
One of my major tasks is to keep our
staff and volunteers flowing with the
vision of the church. I attempt to
accomplish this in a practical way, by
organizing and implementing systems
that streamline and improve both our
quality and our speed, so that ministry
can happen.
