In a previous post we considered how there is a big picture<\/a> that must be taken into consideration when it comes to staffing. Part of that picture pertains to God’s purposes for your church. Consequently, ministry assessments<\/a> become vital to this work to determine where you are, where you should\u00a0be, what it will take to get aligned with His purposes, and who God wants to use to get you there.<\/p>\n

No program or individual will stand alone, isolated from the whole. That takes coordination<\/a> on the part of leaders and a team mentality on the part of ministry workers. Ministry, or job, descriptions explain this connection. Evaluations look for this alignment. Feedback and support are given to help people understand and do their part in pursuing it.<\/p>\n
