STAFF STUDY QUESTIONS:
BUMC's program ministry model is currently comprised of a Ministry
Council and structured around the following four primary task areas:
Reaching/Receiving; Nurturing/Caring; Sending/Serving; and Enabling/Resourcing.
Each primary task area is led by a lay facilitator and a member of the
church staff (i.e. Senior Pastor, Associate Pastor, Director of Program
Ministries, or Business Administrator.) Recent congregational surveys
indicate that this ministry model is effective to enable BUMC to reach
out to the world as the Gospel of John portrays the world and to fulfill
the mission of the church at large and Belmont's mission. BUMC'S current staffing includes: Senior Pastor, Associate Pastor, Director of Music Ministries, Director of Program Ministries, Business Administrator, Youth Pastor, Director of Children's Ministries, Property Manager, four support positions, a church organist and the custodial staff. The Director of Children's Ministries position is currently not staffed. The Director of Program Ministries will retire at the end of the Conference year in June 2005. 1. What changes do you believe could be made to the
current staffing structure that would enable us to reach out to new
people, care for and nurture our members, and send one another into
service? 2. If the new staff person filling the Director of Children's Ministries position could focus on one overriding priority that would make the most difference for children, families and the church, what would that priority be?
What qualities and skills should our new staff person have? 3. If the new staff person in the area of program ministries could focus on one overriding priority that would make the most difference for Belmont's people and ministries, what would that priority be?
What qualities and skills should our new staff person have?
