I’m going on 10 years in full-time ministry. I have been blessed to work at two great churches. Emmanuel Christian Center for over three years and The Oaks Fellowship for over 6 years. Something over those years that has become a soapbox for me is productivity in ministry. It seems at times, pastors, especially staff pastors are looked at by others in the secular field as people that don’t do very much, or at the very least don’t really produce very much. There are many a joke passed around by the congregation. Most of them center around golfing or eating out. 

I’m not sure what this blog will actually turn out to be, but in my mind right now, I think of it as a place to share what I have learned about productivity in ministry. I don’t want to pigeon hole myself, but, by in large, that is what I am going to focus it on. As much as I think the world wants to hear about the restaurants I go to and funny things my daughter said to me today for the most part I am going to give it some focus. 

I by no means, think I have it all figured out in ministry or think that I am the most productive minister around, but I have dedicated the last couple years of my life in ministry to learning of to be more productive and efficient in ministry. I simply want to share what I have learned and observed.
