Brad Cooper, the student pastor at Newspring Church in Anderson blogged not too long ago about sending out evals to your volunteer team giving them freedom to critique you and your ministry. WOW, I took that challenge and it was sobering. It is amazing no matter how good you think you are doing, how many holes there are to fill that you can’t see. So, as a result of the ones I got back…here are some adjustments I am making.
1) I am reclaiming my schedule to make better use of my time, use my assistant better and stay on task. This will allow me to be more focused on Wednesday nights, free me back up to hit campuses on Wednesdays and keep me from burnout.
2) Improve and increase my training of volunteers bimonthly meetings/bimonthly audio training/invite to preservice meetings.
3) Develop a discipline policy with a 3 strike rule…we have some students who consistently disrupt and disobey
Hopefully this will allow me to become a better pastor, friend and leader…we will see.
