Executive Pastor Online Resources

Executive Pastor Online Resources

Over the years I’ve accumulated quite a list of resources available to all of my readers. Part of my desire to put myself out there to help other church leaders, has been to share anything and everything we’ve done here at CCV. Today, I would like to highlight just one of the resources I’ve made [...]

The Executive Pastor Ensures The Operational Readiness Of The Church

The Executive Pastor Ensures The Operational Readiness Of The Church

Depending on the size of the church, the executive pastor is involved in operational readiness much of the time they are in the office. Much of this activity is focused on the site and facilities, but there are many other details that require the attention of the executive pastor. Every ministry area has an “operational” [...]

What Is An “Executive Pastor” Anyway?

So, what does an “executive pastor” actually do on a church staff? I remember seeing a post a long time ago that attempted to explain the role of an executive pastor. I remember it being a pretty good post, all be it a bit “high level.” Of course I’ve shared the job description I wrote [...]

How To Write A Job Description

Executive Pastor Job Description

I’ve been asked a number of times for “a copy of my job description.” For whatever reason, though, I’ve never documented my position here at Christ’s Church of the Valley. Despite my strong belief in the development of infrastructure as the highest priority in building a strong, capable organization … I’ve never taken the time [...]
