Do you have bi-laws?

 

I we have committee do it. The committee is elected by congregation. If you opened up to the whole church, it could take hours and members may even start arguing with each other. You always have the 2 or 3 that want to grind an axe because the pastor doesn't visit weekly or tell at the youth for wearing shorts to church or some other nonsense

Your bi-laws should have the answer to the O/P.

 

It is a form written up and available to the congregation. The congregation does approve the evaluation.

It is similar to a secular business evaluation in procedure. The items the staff is evaluated on come straight from job description. How well did they live up to the job description.

The committee meets first. They do their own evaluation. They then meet with the pastor who then is asked how well he think we did on a Particular description. After the pastor has been thoroughly questioned. The committee would they meet after and see if the pastor's answers effect their answer....perhaps....and likely there is...he has done much more than they realize. Then then call the pastor back in and present the final results. Those results are then given to the church at next business meeting for approval.

Again there is not that detail in the Bible - then the local church via the duly appointed representatives should make that decision.

 

Church, Inc. While this may be very practical, and probably necessary, i cannot help but to think how business-minded many fellowships have become.

And you might ask, how else can someone keep the pastor accountable? And i would add that God gave the church other gifted leaders as well that should work in tandem with the pastor to keep each other accountable with routine, transparent conversations about the ministry work laid before them. Not too mention, they should be sharing their struggles and find support and encouragement to grow in the Lord Jesus Christ and finish their course well.

 

The church should be Berans in regards to teaching. Has far as staff. Janitor, secretary, nursery manager...whatever your church has...the employee should be held to job description.

Pastors should also be held to qualifications found in Timothy and Titus and whatever else he agreed to when taking the job. If he accepted a job description, than he should be held accountable to that. That is what he agreed to. If he was not given one, then the church should still hold him to qualifications found in Timothy and Titus and be Berans with his teaching.

*FIXED THE QUOTE ERROR

 

What do you mean by evaluated? Do you have in mind a kind of performance review?
