Week Five – Office Work – David

Office Work
How would you want to spend your week in church work? How many hours a week and doing what?

I kind of see myself working as a bi-vocational youth pastor. I don’t know yet, but I have this Multi-level marketing business, and I am getting money, and I think that I could do real far with it. And my dream is that I can support myself with the income from it, and then give back to the church what they give me.

I just sent out my Résumés, and recently I was confronted with the opportunity to take up a bi-vocational job as a youth pastor. I have been thinking about it a lot, but the location is just not where my fiancé and I want to be. The job description entails working 20 hours a week (which we all know means 30 hours a week), and I am required to have a Wednesday service and a Sunday morning service.

As I am answering the questions above, I am answering with the mind-set of only working 20 hours a week. My week in church work, besides youth group on Wednesdays and Sunday school on Sundays, would most likely be full of visitations with a little time spent in the office. I would probably only be in the office twice a week and then do most of my sermons and studies at home.
