Questions

Hi Brent -

What exactly are you looking for and how big is your staff?

And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.

Jay, Thanks for the interest.

Jay,

Thanks for the interest. We have beside me, one full-time pastor, a part-time music man, two part-time custodial people (who work together) one secretary wroking 25-30 hours a week, one secretary working, 4 hours a week, and two residents (interns) who spend 11 months with us in training.

We oversee a rescue mission with 15-16 employees and have developed a first-class manual for them. This was done with the idea of being the foundation for the church though at the time there was not a need. The real heart of what I am looking for is how to handle expectations of dress/conduct outside of church and how this relates to pastors and their families above and beyond other staff. I want to be reasonable, yet maintain the dignity, ideals, and representation of pastors and their families and take a position appropriate within our context that would be able to stand the test of time without significant changes in the future. I hesitated putting this on the site because I didn't want this to become a debate. I just want to see what other churches are doing in this regard.

I hope this makes sense.

Brent Baughman
