The
Administrator
Moderated by Bob Feitl
Hi! Chances are good that if you are visiting the Administrator page of XPastor.org you are looking for some specific, tangible help. You may be an XP with a staff including a business administrator, a finance director, a human resource director, a facilities director and a network administrator … or you may be all those in the disguise of an XP who is expected to leap tall buildings in a single bound! I've been in both settings and without a doubt there are pros and cons to each. But, regardless of the size of your staff, the one common denominator is that you must find the balance between leading, managing and doing.
This page is dedicated to collecting resources, examples, articles and experiences that will help you be the kind of administrator King David was when he shepherded them with integrity of heart and with skillful hands he led them (Psalm 78:72). If you have a comment, want to send something that you found useful, have a question, need more help or just a listening ear, don't hesitate to contact me.
Joining you in the journey,
Bob
