Human Resources at Xenos Fellowship:
The Xenos Staff Manual
Edited by Steve Bauer
Elders' Forward
In a well-led church, everyone has a sense of security and a more peaceful
state of mind because the leaders are clear about their expectations and
commitments. Also, in these days when people take each other to court
over everything imaginable, a large church has a stewardship to consider
with its employees. The leadership of the church is not hired to lose
the church's money and resources through erroneous management, illegal
hiring practices or misunderstandings. To this end, after years of operating
our church as a "Ma and Pa shop" where people just understood
what to do, we realized we needed to formalize our extensive "Talmud"
of unwritten rules and practices. We are happy to share our staff manual
with anyone who finds it useful.
