Part of the purpose of doing staff evaluations should be not only to assess how well a person is doing in their ministry but also to set goals as a result of that assessment in areas needing change and growth. However, we must always make it clear that the goals need to be based on the ability of God to work in and through that person to reach their potential in Him.<\/p>\n

God’s Power Makes Change Possible<\/h2>\n

To come away from a staff evaluation with changes that must be made but feeling it’s impossible to meet up to the expected level of growth is discouraging. But, to come away from a staff evaluation “being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus” (Phil. 1:6), is outrageously encouraging and motivating! Change is possible because “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” (Phil. 4:13).<\/p>\n

The Steering the Church Toward God’s Power Leadership Guide<\/strong><\/a> briefly reflects on how ministry effectiveness isn’t based on a person’s strengths or weaknesses but God’s power at work in and through the person. In addition to staff evaluations, this resource also looks at 24 other leader tasks and responsibilities.<\/p>\n
