This is a two-part assignment for a one-week intensive course on Church Leadership and Governance. The first part, a case study, informs the second part, which is a toolbox for ministry. Ministry can be lonely. Ministers spend a lot of time reinventing the wheel. This assignment responds to that reality and equips new graduates with resources for various topics they might encounter. Upon completion of this assignment, students will have tools for dealing with parish ministry issues, including: governance; day-to-day administration, including hiring, mentoring, leading, dealing with difficult situations potentially leading to someone being dismissed; finances; and working with volunteers.
