When you are called to join a church ministry team as a staff member it can be exciting. But a clear call does not guarantee a smooth transition.
The church that was described to you in the hiring process may not actually exist. That’s OK, go with it! Stay flexible. Everything won’t be perfect, but you can do much to set up yourself for success by paying attention to these four areas.
Don’t ignore the value of the other relationships around you. These horizontal relationships, as well as your direct reports and relationships with key volunteers, will be critical for your success. The goal is to establish yourself as a credible leader—one who is trustworthy and values the contribution and strengths of all team members. These three reminders will guide your interactions with those around you.
Ministry transitions bring a variety of exciting and challenging situations. Your first few days in the new role can set a course for effective ministry for years to come.
