The liberating role of Administration

Nigel Ring

If we function out of our gifting, we’ll be frustrated. We need to be fulfilled. I Corinthians 14:12: “ Even so you, since you are zealous for spiritual gifts, let it be for the edification of the church that you seek to excel”. Gifts are to edify and build up. The purpose of the one day seminar is to help us recognize and value administration as a “God-given” gift.

What is administration?
1. It’s a ministry which seeks to enable the church to meet with God (i.e. the people)
2. Reach their God-given potential
3. Fulfil the great commission
How?
Through practical, efficient and inconspicuous support to church life.

Administration is the oil. Provided it works, you don’t know it is there.

“The Lord’s church is an organism and He does not call his servants to fill ‘offices’ in it……………..His resource is the anointing that He gives to each member according to their call…………We are not called to hold offices or be bearers of titles that carry an implicit authority.”
• Anointing
