Church administration handbook

the long version

All the basics for developing and implementing effective church administration in one volume. Good administration is essential to the mission of a church and the leadership of clergy and lay leaders. A smooth-running church can concentrate on spreading the gospel, rather than on office supplies, insurance, and weeding the flowerbeds. This newly-revised edition of the Church Administration Handbook offers practical advice from a distinguished list of contributors on issues including: leadership and ministry skills, basic management and organization, office administration skills, assessing and improving your own administrative skills, producing church publications, recruiting and training volunteers, planning and budgeting, employee relationships. - Back cover.
