My role is needed now because so many new churches are being started that the President needs to hand off many of his duties to me so that he can focus on recruiting new leaders, raising up new partners and setting new direction for Orchard Group.
I am now the primary contact person for Orchard Group's new church plant staff teams (which as of now includes teams in New York City, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Annapolis, Allentown, Baltimore, Salt Lake City, Phoenix, and Ventura) for their administrative, operational, financial, corporate and legal issues. This begins from the very beginning planning stages of each new church, and goes forward through their launch as a new church, and on to the point where they are completely self-supporting financially and have established an internal eldership.
For the organization itself, I oversee the daily operations, which includes oversight of our business manager staff person.
I also will be representing Orchard Group (speaking, fundraising, etc.) at churches, colleges, and conventions.
Other areas in which I will become increasingly involved include promotional issues (website, social media, publications), urban ministry classes offered in conjunction with Ozark Christian College and other Bible colleges, and preaching in area churches as needed.
