Administration

The Organizer — turning vision into systems and people into sustainable ministry.

Quick definition: Administration is a Spirit-given aptitude for designing structure, systems, and workflows that let ministry operate reliably and scale well.

Biblical anchors: Acts 6:1–7 (appointing administrators/deacons to relieve apostles), Nehemiah (logistics, assignments, resource planning), Titus 1:5 (ordering the church). These passages show administration as faithful stewardship of people and processes.

Core motivations & profile: Energized by clarity, timelines, and completion. Detail-oriented, dependable, oriented to service through structure. Values stewardship and predictability.

Typical ministry expressions: Volunteer coordination, event logistics, program management, facility and operations oversight, onboarding and record-keeping.

How the gift helps the church: It sustains ministries beyond individuals, enables growth, reduces volunteer churn, and creates reliable channels for mission.

Recommended reading & Scripture memory: Read a Nehemiah commentary for administrative theology. Memorize Acts 6:3–4 and 1 Corinthians 14:40.

Pastoral word: Administration is a ministry of grace. When administered in humility it becomes pastoral care — the quiet work that advertises God’s faithfulness in the patterns and rhythms of church life.
