When CGI received calls from several churches asking for job descriptions, they began researching the topic and found that the majority of churches-no matter the size-did not have written job descriptions, yet they wanted them. This manual is the tool any church or organization can use to develop comprehensive job descriptions. It is reproducible to use the descriptions as is, plus it includes a CD ROM to help churches customize to their needs. Includes descriptions for every position from executive pastor to cookie baker, from administrative assistant to puppeteer, from usher to pantry orgainzer. Besides the job descriptions you may discover a ministry you might never have thought of and expand your church's ministry in the process!

The Old Testament is so much more than an old book filled with funny names and endless rules about sacrifices—it’s where we first get to know the God who keeps His promises, works miracles and forgives His people when they make poor choices. With Uncommon: The Old Testament, developed by youth ministry veteran Jim Burns, youth leaders can introduce their teens to key events and characters from the Hebrew Bible. Students will learn to see God’s Word as an exciting drama that finds its completion in Jesus Christ. Through 12 flexible sessions of study that can be adapted for groups of any size, teens will learn how to listen to God’s voice, what it takes to stand up for God’s people, where to go when the going gets tough, and much more. Plus, the action-packed, fun activities and indispensable tips for starting meaningful dialogue will equip leaders to tell the old, old story in a fresh and vital way.

One of the greatest influences on teens is other teens. They listen to each other now more than ever, and learn from each how to survive and thrive in their faith and in the world. Having the ear of hundreds of thousands of teens over the years, Ron and Katie Luce have insight into their worlds. So they have invited select teens, including Honor Academy students and Teen Mania internship and missions trips alumni, to write from their hearts to their peers. These select teens have penned 50 daily devotionals, each one digging into a different aspect of teen life today. The writings will tell stories of passion, pursuing God and cultivating a servant attitude. They will deal head on with peer pressure, teen suicide, sex and purity. They will struggle with the ideals of absolutes and big dreams against the backdrop of a hopeless feeling culture in crisis. These edgy daily readings will draw teen readers into the conversations that will build a character of no compromise and equip them with leadership skills that will prepare them to not only survive but also thrive in teen years.
