Week 7: People Campus vs. Church

Difference between getting along with people at college compared to getting along with people in a church situation

1. When you’re in college you can pretty much choose who you hang around with, if you don’t like someone then you can easily avoid running into them
2. When you’re in college the campus is usually spread out and chances are you won’t have every class with the person so you may be around them less than at church
3. When you’re in college you’re usually only there for 4 years then you might never see the person again!

1. Getting along with people at church is usually mandatory, especially if you’re on staff! It’s not really appropriate to avoid people when you’re supposed to be ministering to them!
2. When you work for a church you get attached to your ministry there and chances are if you’re a committed person you’ll develop job security and could be there for far more than 4 years.
3. If you don’t get along with someone that is a key person in the church it could ruin your entire reputation in the church depending on how much influence they have.
