How About If You Learn From My Mistakes As An Employer |
James MacDonald
I learned many wonderful things in Seminary but my ministry has certainly been impacted by the things I knew nothing about as I began in pastoral ministry and planted a church. For example I knew absolutely nothing about being an employer. I don’t want to make you overly negative but a little bit of sanctified cynicism will make you a better leader of your staff large or small. We now have well over 300 employees and I suppose almost a hundred more that have come and gone over a 20 year period. I am happier with our church staff and leadership structure than I have ever been and so I guess this is the safest possible time to share some things about church staffing I have had to learn the hard way . . .
