Question: What is you job description? How is it defined?
Answer: My title is the Administrative Pastor. Previously it was Church Administrator. We changed the title after I was ordained and because my Sr. Pastor wanted to increase the congregation’s awareness that I also function as a pastor.
This position is responsible for supervising the non-pastoral staff and for providing direction and oversight to the business affairs of the church, including the school and bookstore. Activities include but are not limited to financial management, oversight of purchasing, directing facility use and scheduling and maintaining policies, procedures and position descriptions. The position is the “chief financial officer” of the church and acts as head of staff in the absence of both the Senior Pastor and Executive Pastor.
