That suggests all we do, even the use of job descriptions, should align with Scripture. Here&#8217;s the problem: The Bible doesn&#8217;t mention job descriptions. Maybe that&#8217;s a more worldly term, so what about &#8220;ministry descriptions&#8221;? Again, the answer would be no. That term isn&#8217;t used in Scripture either.<\/p>\n<h2>Does God&#8217;s Word Support Job Descriptions?<\/h2>\n<p>We may not find terminology used in Bible for job or ministry descriptions, but we do find precedence for sharing expectations, qualities needed, and requirements. Here are some examples:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: circle; padding-left: 20px;\">\n<li>lists of qualifications i.e., deacons, overseers (1 Tim. 3:1-13; Titus 1:5-9)<\/li>\n<li>description for elders (1 Pet. 5:1-3)<\/li>\n<li>list of spiritual gifts equippers should have (Eph. 4:11-12)<\/li>\n<li>distinction in responsibilities of who would take care of the widows and what the apostles should do (Acts 6:1-5)<\/li>\n<li>entrustment given to &#8220;reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others&#8221; (2 Tim. 2:2)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In a sense, God&#8217;s Word fulfills the role of a job description. It&#8217;s just not consolidated in one place on a few pieces of paper.<\/p>\n<h2>Benefit of Job or Ministry Descriptions Comes Through Biblical Alignment<\/h2>\n<p>If we want job descriptions to be &#8220;teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness&#8221; tools that equip (2 Tim. 3:16-17), then they must reflect biblical values like God&#8217;s purposes, design, and mission for the Church. They must point to the need for Christ-like character and pulling on God&#8217;s power to accomplish responsibilities.<\/p>\n<p>As in anything we do, the use of job or ministry descriptions should align with Scripture. What are the qualifications and spiritual gifts for different ministries God&#8217;s Word suggests? What are responsibilities for the various ministries that align with what Scripture emphasizes for teachers, leaders, worship teams, people helpers, etc.?<\/p>\n<p>When biblically aligned, job descriptions have potential for being used by God to promote effective ministry.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More on These Topics: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul style=\"padding-left: 25px;\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/trainchurchleaders.org\/ministry-job-descriptions-resources\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Church Ministry Job Descriptions Resources<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/trainchurchleaders.org\/resources-about-gods-word\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Resources about God&#8217;s Word<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>All Posts about Job Descriptions:<\/h3><ul class=\"lcp_catlist\" id=\"lcp_instance_0\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/trainchurchleaders.com\/practicum\/job-descriptions.htm\">Job Descriptions in the Church?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/trainchurchleaders.com\/practicum\/church-job-descriptions.htm\">Church Job Descriptions Reflect Purpose?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/trainchurchleaders.com\/practicum\/job-descriptions-body-life.htm\">Church Job Descriptions Reflect Body Life?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/trainchurchleaders.com\/practicum\/job-description-tasks.htm\">Church Job Descriptions Reflect the Great Commission?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/trainchurchleaders.com\/practicum\/job-descriptions-qualities.htm\">Job Descriptions Reflect God&#8217;s Heart for the Church?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/trainchurchleaders.com\/practicum\/job-descriptions-power.htm\">Job Descriptions Reflect a Need for God&#8217;s Power?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/trainchurchleaders.com\/practicum\/using-job-descriptions.htm\">Be an Example in Using Job Descriptions<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/trainchurchleaders.com\/practicum\/gifts-job-descriptions.htm\">Spiritual Gifts Listed on Job Descriptions?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/trainchurchleaders.com\/practicum\/prayer-job-descriptions.htm\">Prayer Critical in Use of Job Descriptions?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/trainchurchleaders.com\/practicum\/job-descriptions-cross.htm\">Job Descriptions Robbing the Cross of Its Power?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/trainchurchleaders.com\/practicum\/grace-ties-into-job-descriptions.htm\">How Grace Ties into Job Descriptions<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/trainchurchleaders.com\/practicum\/tools-of-the-holy-spirit.htm\">Job Descriptions as Tools of the Holy Spirit?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/trainchurchleaders.com\/practicum\/keep-the-focus-on-his-name.htm\">Keep the Focus on His Name<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/trainchurchleaders.com\/practicum\/job-descriptions-servanthood-as-a-goal.htm\">Job Descriptions with Servanthood as a Goal<\/a><\/li><li class=\"current\"><a href=\"https:\/\/trainchurchleaders.com\/practicum\/biblical-support-job-descriptions.htm\">Biblical Support for Job Descriptions?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/trainchurchleaders.com\/practicum\/job-description-incomparably-great-power.htm\">Job Description Leave Room for His Incomparably Great Power?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/trainchurchleaders.com\/practicum\/opposition-to-ministry-job-descriptions.htm\">Opposition to Ministry Job Descriptions?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/trainchurchleaders.com\/practicum\/faithful-steward-job-descriptions.htm\">Be a Faithful Steward Using Job Descriptions<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We know the power of God\u2019s Word for \u201cteaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness\u201d so we \u201cmay be thoroughly equipped for every good work\u201d (2 Tim. 3:16-17).
