CHURCH ADMINISTRATION - NEEDED NOW THAN BEFORE: Many people think that the word ADMINISTRATOR is just a usual professional jargon. The good news is that it is a divine office that God Himself appoint people into. So God has appointed some in the church.. administrators. I Corinthians 12:28 (Amplified Bible) An administrator is a vital supportive office given to the church to profit. What is Church Administration? It is a gift from God. However, training can equip and make you better, but God is the only one who can call and empower you to serve effectively in whatever your role is in church administration. Good administration is getting others to work together. You must understand that church administration is a ministry centered on people, techniques and paperwork are supplementary. It is an art of management, not manipulation and control. It breeds growth and strives on consistency, sensitivity, integrity, timing, administrative skills, and resourcefulness. Many serving in church administration are gifted with natural talents, yet these natural talents are sharpened through experience, training, and empowerment from God. Effective church administration enables church members to see the vision, grasp the vision, communicate the vision, and impart the vision to others. Failure to do so only causes chaos in your church. In church administration one of the key things we must remember, is to place people where there strengths and/or calling are, not just where there is a vacancy. I recall spending ten days training a church administrator who was really an amazing office assistant but had been drafted into being the church’s administrator. I realized church leaders need to appreciate certain professional skills in placing people in their proper place so as to be more productive.
