Evaluations done twice a year serve the operational body of ministry well. They allow for a healthy staff environment and ensure that your team members are pursuing the same goals and objectives. This process also allows for mid-course corrections and provides a platform for the empowerment of your staff members. Contact us for more information about evaluation tools.
For a direct purchase option, Building Church Leaders offers excellent resources related to church staff evaluations. Best Church Practices features tools that may interest you.

Converge Great Lakes helped us work through a variety of growth transitions and work through staff conflict, and how to create the right team. They provided coaching for church health, which resulted in greater ministry effectiveness.
