Working with people is a vital component to being pastor. In this essay I will identify was in which I can learn how to work with other people better.
One affective way in which I can learn how to work with other people would be to shadow a congregational life pastor. I would follow him or her around and see the way he or she interacts with people. By observing the way he or she works with people, I will be able to learn how I can work better with people.
Another way I can learn how to work with people would be to read books on this topic. Some helpful books that I could read would include: John C. Maxwell's Ways To Win With People: How To Make Others Feel Like A Million Bucks as well as George Boran Youth Ministry That Works: Practical Ideas for Working With Young People. Reading books would help me with the "head knowledge" of working with people in the church.
Another way I can learn is to interview a pastor who has years of experience working with church people. In this interview I would ask him or her various questions on how to handle people in the church.
I can also look to the Scriptures for instruction on how to work with people. Studying the life of Christ as a model for working with people would be very helpful. Also, reading Paul's letters would motivate me to be better with ministering to people in the church.
