This manual is the tool any church or organization can use to develop comprehensive ministry job descriptions.

Endorsements:
“I only wish I had a tool like this 20 years ago! The hours I spent writing just such descriptions of ministry could have been spent in far more productive ways. The accompanying CD enabling every pastor, regardless of the size of the church, to quickly and easily adapt the descriptions to their church is invaluable. This one’s a WINNER!” –Dr. David Slamp
“This is a must for every pastor who wants to improve the performance of their church staff and volunteers, and still keep them happy. It will circumvent many potential misunderstandings about responsibilities.” –Dr. Lindsay Terry
“This is an outstanding resource to help churches and church leaders clarify ministry positions, and to motivate members to greater ministry. I recommend it to all church leaders who desire to be good stewards of the gifted people in their churches.” –Dr. Thom S. Rainer
