Adult Ministries Director

• Administrative - An ability to focus on tasks and connect people to adult ministries and other staff members.

Being able to keep focus despite potential distractions and finish tasks to completion, coming alongside others to support them through taking administrative responsibilities.

• Volunteer Management - An ability to recruit and train adult volunteers. Balances team and individual responsibilities; exhibits openness to other’s views; gives and welcomes feedback; and contributes to building a positive team spirit.

• Relational - An ability to encourage others in their next step of faith. A shepherd’s heart but also the ability to speak boldly. The ability to speak to all generations. The ability to communicate respectfully in negative and positive situations, being quick to assume the best about others, even in disagreement.

• Long-Term Planner - The ability to think about how decisions now affect the future of the adult ministries and the entire church. The ability to be proactive about needs and make plans accordingly. Also, they can process crises quickly, respond to them, and encourage growth in others.

We give each other the benefit of the doubt. We look for the good in each other. When I don’t understand what you’re doing, I let trust fill in the gaps.

We keep short accounts with each other. If I am hurt or offended, you and I are going to talk about it or let it go, but we will not let it linger.

We choose to dream and be visionaries, looking forward to the future God has for us. And we ruthlessly eliminate every form of comfortable complacency.

We choose to honor each other and give grace to each other’s shortcomings or failures. We choose to be real and authentic with each other, even if we must push through difficulty.
