Just posted a great new article on PDYMCommunity.com from mentor Chris Wesley on creating a 1-sentence job description for volunteers. Good stuff, here's a clip:
JG1. Sit down with your ministry leader. Let them know that you want to be able to sum up everything that they do in one sentence. By letting them in on the process you are showing them value and that you really do care about what it is they are doing.
2. Incorporate the ministry purpose. This step might create more work for some of you but try and create a purpose statement for each area of ministry. What are you trying to achieve? What is the goal of small groups? What is a win on a Sunday night? When the job description has purpose incorporated into it, the ministry has more significance. Your ministers are no longer volunteers but the owner of a piece of your vision.
3. List and focus responsibilities. Make a list with your minister of all the tasks that they perform each time they serve. Are they doing too much? Are they doing everything? Figure out what tasks they need to do and which ones they should replace themselves or give up. If there isn’t focus, then there isn’t direction and if there isn’t direction your ministers will burn out.
