The Equipping Church

To explain the role and responsibilities of an admistrator assistant and the other staff, a lot of researches have been done. In contrast to admistrative role, the information is provided by explaining the scenario of churches. It seems to be difficult for the churches in the past to build and control their ministry. The senior pastor is the person who is leading and controlling the people in the church.n n“They expect their leaders to support and direct them into fruitful mission. Senior pastors are key influencers in this process.” (John t. Hawco).But the position of executive pastor is confusing. He didn’t know that what he had to do.

For approximately 20 years the role of executive pastor was not defined. The general perception about executive pastor was that he is not biblically acceptable. Many theories and models have been drawn to compare in order to show the similarity in some respect among Senior and executive pastor. The role of executive pastor has been confined through churches hard word and also derived from the organization itself.

“Most executive pastor positions have come to exist through church travail, and their job descriptions have been invented from within the organization.” (John t. Hawco)
In order to mould both senior and executive pastors in an effective form, the leadership quality should be there. Leadership is the quality to manage people, provide them with the certain path and the sense of achievement. It is the commitment to ensure that the task will be done in most effective and efficient manner. The leaders are fully committed to give positive outcome which assigned to them. Leaders are the people who can bring positive changes for the organization. He can heighten it from his strong determination and can also decrease the organizational strength.
“Leadership is the process of influencing team members to work hard towards, and be committed to, team goals.” (Karlene Sugarman)

The strong relation between both the pastors can bring about positive outcome and organizational success. The success of a team is depended on the hard work, quality of the work and effort they put on achieving their goals. These efforts will automatically transfer to the staff members who help them to lead, feed and develop the church.

“Consequently, the quality of the working relationship between the senior pastor and the executive pastor is vital to the success of the team, and also to the team’s potential to successfully shepherd, lead, and manage the growing church.” (John t. Hawco)
