Leadership Team Roles and Responsibilities for Servant Event Hosts

The Leadership Team is an important component for hosting a successful Servant Event. The typical Servant Event model calls for a minimum of three positions on the primary leadership team:
› Event Director
› Service Director
› Community Life Director
From there, you will probably have several additional roles.

The Event Director, Community Life Director, or Service Director can cover some or all of the roles below them. However, be sure the director roles don’t become too large. The more support and additional volunteers you get involved, the healthier leaders will be before, during and after the event.

There is a position description for each of the key three roles. These descriptions show how responsibilities are distributed so you can consider who might be a good fit for your team. The descriptions are flexible and not absolute. For example, in some events there are a variety of other volunteer roles, including music leaders, treasurer, publicity and communications coordinator and more. Other events have the Community Life Director in charge of housing and food coordination. You can divide these roles based on the gifts and skills of your leaders.

Counter-Cultural Messages: “You can be whatever you want to be?”

Working Through a Staff Vacancy

Working Through a Staff Vacancy

An exciting part of being a rostered church worker is when a Director of Christian Education (DCE) or pastor answers God’s call to serve another congregation. Though it’s an exciting time, it can leave their present congregation with a vacancy and no one to serve in that role. I experienced this twice at the same congregation, and this article describes some valuable lessons.
