Acts 6:1-2 - “Now in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplying, there arose a complaint against the Hebrews by the Hellenists, because their widows were neglected in the daily distribution. Then the twelve summoned the multitude of the disciples and said. ‘It is not desirable that we should leave the word of God and serve tables."

The work of any organization, especially the church, requires many administrative details.  Just as the apostles were faced with a management problem, elders face the same challenge.  Therefore, the area of administration is very broad and very important in an efficient and effective congregation.  The works for this area are:

Advertising
     1.  Create awareness of the Summit congregation in Campbell County through paid advertising and/or public relations announcements in the newspapers.
     2.  Increase attendance through advertising for VBS, Youth rallies, and Gospel meetings.

Communications
    1.  Provide an avenue of relaying announcements and information concerning the congregation to limit announcements in the worship services.
     2.  Ensure that an updated prayer list is provided on a weekly basis.
     3.  Maintain a current directory of members (includes periodical updates).
     4.  Be sure that each visitor receives a letter of welcome.
     5.  Maintain a current, up-to-date phone.

Office
    1.  Perform an inventory of existing file system.
     2.  Revise filing system.
     3.  Erect a “lockbox” for facility keys.
     4.  Revise “in-box” system.
     5.  Add secretarial/office support staff at least part time to help keep up with files, office work, phones, messages, and letters.

Library      Note:  Please check on Library to the left to see an inventory of books and materials available.

     1.  Add to existing library collection as appropriate.
     2.  Generate interest in and use of the library resources by members of the congregation.
