The Church Office - Is it all you want it to be?
You've come to the right place.

STREAMLINE YOUR CHURCH OFFICE to run EFFICIENTLY and with MORE PRODUCTIVITY?   It's true, it is possible...  

In most situations additional personnel is not the answer.  The answer is most likely equipping the people you have in place and updating your processes and strategies.  Perhaps it"s as easy as setting up templates or learning new software.

I CAN SHOW YOU HOW.  Contact me TODAYLeave a phone number.
1.  Establish an all-church calendar with only one person to write on the calendar.

2.  Once the year calendar is drafted assign approximate dates and deadlines. 

3.  Redefine how you name your office personnel.  Eliminate the words support
    staff.  These folks are Administrative Staff who are trained and equipped to
    perform valuable and equal work in the kingdom.

4.  Configure computer file template and organization structure

5.  Establish priorities for staff.  Often the congregation would like their needs to be
    seen as a priority and desire immediate results.  Permit reasonable time lines
    for response as well as what the staff will and will not do.

6.  Develop a volunteer staff for different tasks.  Providing training diminishes the
    fear of volunteering. 

7.  Place a volunteer calendar in a prominent location.  Add task and phone
    numbers below names. 

8. Label your office supplies shelves and provide a form close to the shelves (room)
   to track supplies.

9.  Train personnel to use software fully and efficiently.  Bring in trainors or send
    personnel to classes.  The time and money spent will repay you many times
    over.

10.  Commit each person to the church's goals and vision plan.  Define how the
     Administrative Staff will meet those goals. 

Love each other in Christ
