JiDiPiAiSJob Description/Performance Appraisal
System

• JDPAS is a way to engage the pastor and
  leadership team in meaningful pastoral
  evaluation. Pastoral evaluation is based on a
  clear job description built locally by a team.
  The job description will reflect the current
  mission and vision of our church. Mission and
  vision are to breathe with the Scriptures.
  Studying our community, locally and globally, is
  essential to applying the Scriptures.

The JDPAS bias of evangelism

• Father, I have sinned against both heaven and
  you, and I am no longer worthy of being called
  your son. But his father said to the servants,
  Quick! Bring the finest robe, Get a ring for
  his finger, and sandals for his feet. And kill
  the calf we have been fattening in the pen. We
  must celebrate with a feast, for this son of mine
  was dead and has now returned to life. He was
  lost, but now he is found.
  L Luke 1511-32 (All quotations
  from New Living Translation)

One minister? Or ministers?
We are looking for a church that meets our
needs. The phenomenon of church shoppers has
profoundly shaped the contemporary church The
entire conversation is not about relevance but
convenience. Our motto degenerated from We are
the church, here to serve a lost and broken
world to What does the church have to offer
me? This move has made the pastor the only
minister, while making members the only
recipients of ministry. Erwin McManus, An
unstoppable force, p29f.
