Ministry Self Audit: Structure

This is the second week of a three week series on how to grow your ministry or cause through the process of self-auditing. Throughout this series, you will discover areas you can improve in your full or lay leadership role.

Without structure, your ministry will not effectively meet the needs of others. Selecting the wrong structure will not only impact how you execute as a ministry, it often leads to dysfunction across the church.

Does your team have a well-defined structure (peer-based, team-based, or depth-based)?
Without structure, your volunteers will not know where and when to go when they need help. They’ll feel helpless and give up.

Is your team structure documented (organizational chart or outline)?
Your team needs to know where to go when they need help, so make it easy on them by keeping a chart available and up-to-date.

Does your team have job descriptions for each job role your team performs, including the duration required for new signups?
How can your team do their job if they don’t know what their job is? Make short, easy to understand job descriptions that help everyone stay focused.

Do you have a process for locating new managers and leaders to grow your team?
Developing structure helps you to see where future managers and leaders are needed. Develop a simple process for locating these future team members.
