Tiny church administration: your turn
Personal and cultural reflections, plus the District of Columbia and some Esperanto
How about this question: What administrative issues are we faced with in our real-life tiny church?
— Care and feeding of volunteers (volunteer burnout is a big issue in tiny churches).
— Ongoing assessment of what new technology makes life easier (mailing newsletters as a PDF!!), and what technology takes up too much time (attempting to have committee meetings via email!!).
— Outsource custodial duties? Try to have volunteers take them on? What about very part-time sextons/custodians?
— Ditto bookkeeping.
— Another look at easy Web pages for tiny churches. I’m lucky in that I know basic HTML and can code a primitive Web site — but now we’re exploring things like online donations, and I’m way out of my league. Things are changing so fast vis-a-vis the Web, this is one of those topics I want to revisit every three months.
I’ll stop now. And thanks for opening this discussion….
