- To enable continual change for effectiveness.
- To manage people well.
- To co-ordinate all aspects of organisation.
- To release the pastoral staff for church growth.
This is a leadership role within a church's senior staff team requiring a range of specialist skills while focusing on strategy more than daily detail.
The article includes 18 areas of possible responsibility including all operational areas of Sunday services, communications, decision-making systems and structures, HR, IT, church policies, risk management, strategic plan, systems.
