I’ve had some interesting dialogue with Warren Bird, research director for the Leadership Network, in recent months. He shares my passion to pursue new models of ministry that raise the level of lay leadership and volunteer empowerment in ministry with the hopes of, among other things, reducing staffing expenses.
Warren has designed an online “lean staffing survey” to learn about healthy ways churches are keeping staff costs down. We’d like for you to participate. Here’s how:
- Take the “lean staffing survey” online.
- Only take the survey once.
- Complete it before midnight on January 25.
If you complete the survey, you’ll also get a free copy of the results. Contact Warren directly if you have questions.
In the mean time, will you commit to the “Ephesians 4:12 Challenge” and use your leadership influence to empower more volunteers in ministry? Personally, I think it’s a simply strategic idea.
