Unwelcome, Yet Responsible, Preparations
What preparations do you have in place in case your pastor gets sick? Or your clerk of session? What if one of your essential leaders dies?
These are uncomfortable questions, and yet being prepared is important. Here are a few things to think about:
- Be sure more than one person knows how to log into the church computer, the church website, the church email, and any social media sites the church is found on.
- Be sure the church's email list or email program is accessible to more than one person.
- Share the login information for Zoom or Youtube or other streaming/gathering platform with key leadership in the church.
- Make sure that more than one person is able to access the church's financial information and bank account
- Make sure that Session records are accessible to at least one other person besides the Clerk of Session.
In the case of an emergency, do not hesitate to contact Cindy or T.J.. Consider sharing the list of your key leaders with us along with the information about who has access to what. The Commission on Ministry is meeting this week and will be considering other ways to help support you if emergency aid is needed.
