#2 Week Five (Hours worked in Ministry) Anton Folz Feb 9th 2009

I, Anton, Interviewed Rev. Brad Terhune on Sunday Feb 8th, 2009. We met in the cafe' area of Lakeview Wesleyan Church.
Below are the results of our meeting together;

Time spent in an (average week)
1) Study (alone) 3-5 hours
2) Administrative/office 15 hours
3) Services 8 Hours
4) People 7 hours
5) hours spent on computer connecting with volunteers and other ministers 2 hours

Observations of the findings;
- There is often a good deal of change to one's schedule when you are a staff pastor such as Rev. Brad. Often times he will have a great deal of people/committee meetings, and the number here will shoot way up, but other weeks the office time will eat up much of his day
- There is always more to do. When you are a staff pastor at a larger church it is easy to get caught up doing many services and activities.
- Pastor Brad also made note that these office hours are not always consistent with a 8 to five job, because he is often on call from as early as 6:00am till 12:20 am at night.
