Creating a Church Ministry Process

Your team process should be simple. The more difficult or complex a process becomes, the harder it is to be effective and train new team members. It also reduces the likelihood that people will follow the process, deviating from a consistent result.

Your process should include typical procedures for conducting tasks, scheduling volunteers for service, and determining how your team serves other ministries within your church. It should be documented, taught to future team members, and flexible enough to allow for updates when needed.

You should review your process with church staff. Make sure they agree with your procedures, as they may have a different point of view. It may be that you place high value on a task that they may not – spending the time to verify this upfront can prevent you from undoing hours of training later. It also allows the staff to learn about how they can support you, perhaps putting you in contact with someone that would greatly help your ministry.
