it seems the hardest thing is getting folks to KNOW what they should do for their positions at church, so someone sat down and typed these up over the last few years.
they list basic job responsibilities if they are assigned a leadership position in the church. (like attend church council!!)
they were all singles documents, in a huge mess.
I got them all in one document, in one format...
I am not saying the wording is great/correct/fitting to your church...but they are a GOOD START...
and I absolutely HATE having to re-invent the wheel.
so email me at
webmaster@northtrident.org
and I will email them to you in Word.
there's no use to post them on here, and have you C&P them off, and you have to spend hours re-formatting them.
here is an example:
Leadership Position Description
