Two questions

Yesterday on Sunrise i saw a story on some chap talking about job interviews, especially on the importance of the questions you ask.

For me, i go out of my way to ask two questions in particular. Both, hopefully, reveal what the churches value...

First question: If the person you hire is exceeding expectations in six months, what would they be doing?

This should show what the churches view as success. Is it all numbers based? Is the growth of faith mentioned at all? Do they desire innovation? Are they satisfied with the status quo?

Second question: What is your church known for in the community?

This should reflect what the church thinks they do well. Also, it could show what ministries they have to nonbelievers.

For me, if the person/committee, give satisfying answers to these two questions... then they go along way to stirring my interest.
