Week Three Administrative Work

Week Three

 

Administrative Work

 

Since the Church I attend is not going to have a board meeting until later in February I could not attend a board meeting by this week so I moved ahead to week four in the syllabus and interview Pastor Klotz about the administrative work that he does.

 

I interviewed Pastor John Klotz of New Life Community Church on January 19^th to talk to him about the administrative work that he does.

 

Here is the list of Administrative work that Pastor Klotz does on a weekly basis:

1. On Mondays totaling the attendance of Sunday school, Church, nursery and Children's Church so they can have a count of how many people were there Sunday

2. Meeting with the secretary to go over the tithes and offerings from Church

3. Meeting with the various ministry team leaders

4. The Church has a day care so he sometimes does work with them and the parents of the daycare

5. Take phones calls of people that call in

6. Make phone calls for supplies or other needed calls

7. Trying to get volunteers involved in the different ministries

8. Answering the questions that people have

9. Meeting with people if they stop into the Church

10. Setting up the chairs in the sanctuary or taking them down depending on what events are coming up

11. Doing different service things around the Church that need to be done such as changing light bulbs

 

 

The observations that I made from the meeting with Pastor Klotz and the list that he gave me is that he does not have a whole lot of administrative type work. New Life Community Church does have a full time secretary and I was thinking that might explain the reason why pastor Klotz does not have a lot of administrative work. Pastor Klotz seemed to think that he had a lot of administration duties and that he was often annoyed by them but I thought that he had it rather easy.
