Church Staff: Expect Alignment with Church Purpose

Share:

Expect Staff Alignment with God's Purposes
When our church purpose lines up with what God most expects of us, then it’s reasonable and right to pass on that expectation to staff, whether paid or volunteer. For example, Jesus identified love for God and people as the greatest commandments (Matt. 22:36-40). He said, “All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments” (v. 40).

Certainly, then, any expectations we might place on people who serve in the Church should line up under these commandments.

Expect Alignment with What God Views as Top Priority

Our church purpose forms the top priorities in ministry. People need to know that they are expected to work toward the accomplishment of these priorities.

  • All they do should be brought under the umbrella of your church purpose so you function as a coordinated whole.
  • Anything that does not fit under these priorities should be brought into question.

In addition to what you read above, the Steering the Church Toward God’s Purposes Leadership Guide provides some suggestions of how you can communicate the expectation for both volunteer and paid staff to align with your church purpose, beginning early on with job descriptions.
