Does your church have an Operations Manual? Do different ministry departments have Handbooks?I only recently realized how rare documentation is among churches of all denominations. In trying to find examples of church documentation online, I found few. My guess is that for the average church staff member, the task of putting together a Manual can be time-consuming and daunting.
Here's where we come in. Besides the creative writing goals you may have personally (or if you're like me and inspiration-less at the moment), maybe you can serve your church. Here are some ideas.
#1 - Offer to help the pastoral staff compile an Operations Manual for the church.
#2 - Offer to help the different department heads compile Handbooks for their teams.
#3 - Offer to help the pastoral staff with any other documents they may need - HR forms, a Staff Handbook, etc.
#4 - Offer to help create some press releases about church events for your local paper.
All this in addition to any creative projects you write (Easter dramas, Christmas readings, etc.) can stretch your talents, but most importantly, bless the Kingdom.
....What else? What other writing ministries can you think of that could help bless the local church?
