Network Pastor On Duty Job Description

To provide oversight and pastoral leadership before during and after Sunday service.

Pre Service:

1. Check with Team Leaders for any issues, provide encouragement and problem solving as needed.

2. Ensure Runsheet's are given too or placed on the chairs of:

• Ps Nick and Melissa

• Worship Leader

• Band Leader

• Network Pastors On Duty

• MC 

3. ​​Start Prayer and Lead Prayer Meeting at 9:00am (see notes for running prayer meeting)

4. Check Stage and Foyer for any last minute clean ups eg. is the stage clear of drink bottles and paper?  Is the foyer neat and tidy free from any previous events equipment?

5. Attend pre service meeting  

During Service:

1. Move Pulpit on and off stage as needed.  The MC does not need the pulpit unless previously arranged.  Pulpit is sometimes needed for tithe and offering please check pre-service, otherwise it can be bought up on stage when the preaching begins.

2. Be aware and ready to respond to any issues, moments that may need help segueing .

3. Coordinate any altar call ministry.  This includes: arranging catchers, coordinating Pastors to pray for people, ensure tissues and modesty cloths are used.

4. Take the Church Attendance Roll.  Click off members from membership list.  You can filter it down to Church Members, New Members and Potential New Members.  Write down as many details as you can into the guest notes section.  Include description who they are with and/or names if you can.  We always do another check during the week to make sure we are accurate in our stats.  We always end up adding 10 -15 names after the initial roll is taken from kids church and visitors etc.

Post Service

1. Manage any altar call time after service.

2. Ensure all new Christians are offered a free hot drink whilst being counseled and help New Christians Leaders in organizing this time of the service

Notes for running prayer:

1. Always come prepared.  Don’t just “turn up”  It takes preparation to run a prayer meeting

2. Pray using scriptures    

3. Run a mini altar call - ask people with needs to respond and be prayed for

4. Be aware, one person praying for the duration of the meeting will not keep people focused

5. Find a way to engage those attending

Some ideas to do this:

• ask different people to pray

• ask team leaders to pray for their specific areas

• ask connect leaders to pray for people

• separate into small groups and pray for needs

• separate into team groups and pray as a team

​

Thanks guys.  See you Sunday:)
