Thursday #3 – Staff report to the board

As the staff member, it should be your goal to be as thorough as possible when giving the report to the board. This report needs to include as much concise information as possible. This report should include the following:

• A written handout that has any documentation that should be recorded
• A summary of what a typical day looks like
• Any significant activity that has taken place in your area of ministry since the last report
• A report on the budget, an explanation if the spending is more than normal
• Possibly report the fruits of the ministry
o Number of those who have made commitments
o Works that the ministry has done
o Types of growth that have been observed

As a staff member in a church, there should be a sense of accountability. So, there should be some requirements set by either the board, or whoever is in charge of the staff. These reports should be the staff person’s “proof” of what they have been doing in their ministry, therefore, they are keeping their works honorable.
