Week 5 - People Essay - Rachel

From what I’ve seen and learned about church administration, about half of what a minister does is in contact with people and the other half of the administration work is for the people.

By doing contact work and having staff meetings, it makes administration work able to focus on people. When a minister is planning, they have to keep in mind that they are planning for the Lord for the people.

Ministry is all about serving the Lord by serving people. Although creating a budget might not seem like a people oriented task at the time, the reality is that if a minister didn’t work out their budget for that year, then his or her ministry wouldn’t last very long. There would be no more serving the people.
