Do you __________ your staff & volunteers?
You might guess:
A. Love
B. Motivate
C. Train
And those are good answers. But here’s a better one for you.
D. Shepherd
For most of us, the people closest to us on a day-to-day basis are our staff and key volunteers, right? But, are we *really* serving as a pastor to them?
We love, motivate and train our staff and volunteers . . . but what about our shepherding responsibility? You owe it to your staff and volunteers to shepherd them.
But pastoring a staff is different than pastoring a church.
A big mistake is to shepherd your staff and volunteers like everyone else in your church. Yes, you pastor your entire church… and staff and volunteers are part of your church.
But they are different.
You have a unique relationship with your staff. You have a different relationship with your volunteers. So, you must shepherd them differently.
But how?
That’s the question Pastor and Church Growth Strategist Nelson Searcy dives into in this new (short) resource, Shepherding Your Staff and Volunteers. After debating this issue for many years in Nelson’s coaching networks — evaluating his own management of staff and key volunteers, while pulling lessons from his most successful coaching alumni — he has now put it all together in one place.
He was challenged to answer this question: What is my shepherding responsibility for my staff and volunteers?
What Nelson found in answering that question is that it’s not about 100 different things. It’s about a very few but profound things.
Originally recorded for his Advanced Coaching Network, this resource is densely packed with proven principles and strategies to strengthen your ministry team, including:
So, if you oversee staff or volunteers — whether you are the Senior Pastor, Executive Pastor, Worship Pastor, Minister of Volunteers or whatever title you might carry — you owe it to the staff and volunteers you serve to pick up this resource. Listen to it. Devour it. Or, just get one or two little ideas (they may be little but they are powerful) that will help you be a better pastor.
Let’s choose to be better shepherds to our staff and volunteers! We all have room to grow and improve.
