WHAT DOES THE RESEARCH TELL US?

WHEN PAT AND I conducted our 2015 research project, this particular area of learning was one of our top priorities. We really wanted to get to the bottom of how well we actually know our senior pastors. We asked the following five questions:

• How well would you say you know the ministry heart of your senior pastor?

• To what degree are you a student (learning how to best serve, understand, and minister with) of your senior pastor?

• How often do you meet with your senior pastor?

• For what purpose do you meet with your senior pastor?

• Can you give examples of how you have been a student of your senior pastor?

WE WERE VERY encouraged that the kidmin community reports that we know the ministry heart of our senior pastor, as over 75% of the respondents rated this question a 4 or a 5 (out of 5) or higher. However, when we asked,“To what degree are you a student of your senior pastor?” those who rated this a 5 or 4 fell to just over 62%, meaning that nearly 4 out of 10 children’s ministry leaders are less engaged in getting to know how to best understand how to work with our lead pastors. As we sought to interpret the data, we began to think that many kidmin leaders may be less engaged in understanding the pastor’s heart due to less accessibility. It was quite helpful to understand just how often we are meeting with our senior pastors.
