OWNER’S DESIGN SAYINGS ________________________________

“Church staff rise and fall in relationship to their pastor. Nurture and grow this relationship so that he can support you in times of crisis” Danny Von Kanel


“It is one of the ironies of the ministry that the very man who works in God's name is often hardest put to find time for God. The parents of Jesus lost Him at church, and they were not the last ones to lose Him there.” Vance Havner

“I’ve only met one staff member who thought he knew it all when it came to ministry. Is it no surprise he is no longer in it today? Check your pride at the door.” Danny Von Kanel

“Give details about the staff member in this area. Use friendly words and provide enough background that your reader feels comfortable in talking or communicating with this person... People NEED to be able to relate to others on your staff, so you can seem accessible to them, but still have your own hands free!” Taken from Faith Baptist Church website”.

BIBLE SNIPPETS_________________________________________

* 1 Timothy 4:12 (King James Version)
Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

* Luke 7:7 - 9 (New International Version)
That is why I did not even consider myself worthy to come to you. But say the word, and my servant will be healed. For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, 'Go,' and he goes; and that one, 'Come,' and he comes. I say to my servant, 'Do this,' and he does it." 9When Jesus heard this, he was amazed at him, and turning to the crowd following him, he said, "I tell you, I have not found such great faith even in Israel."
