Galloway Memorial UMC in Jackson. Joey remains at Galloway as Senior Pastor.

One of the most precious resources we care for are our human resources, those who serve God daily.

As we contemplate the complexities of Managing Human Resources, some of the topics we will explore together will include: • Affordable Care Act Update / Projections

• Exempt vs. Non-Exempt / Hourly vs. Salaried

• Performance Evaluations / Use 'em or Loose 'em?

• Job Descriptions

• Employee Record Keeping / Do's and Don'ts

• Interview Questions / Did you really just ask that?

• Background Checks and References

• Progressive Discipline

• Setting Compensation / Fair & Equitable?

• Keeping Your Employee Handbook Up To Date

• Bonuses, Love Offerings & Uncle Sam

• Developing Ministry Staffing Plans / Staffing For

Growth

As administrators we are entrusted with being good

stewards or caretakers of the resources of the church.

Senior Pastor Dr. Charles Price explained that "the

church operates primarily out of Divine Resources, with

Christ Himself the Head and the Life of His Church.

Effective churches operate under His Lordship and in

His strength. However, the way God chooses to work is

through human beings and therefore we need to know

the best practices for working together in unity with

each other, as well as in union with Christ."

Please invite your Staff-Parish Chair and HR Directors to attend!
