Committee function

This committee shall see that job descriptions are available for all positions.  The committee shall at the end of each year as directed by the finance committee, or at other times as requested, evaluate the performance of all lay employees and recommend compensation for the next calendar year.  The committee shall also meet with the employees during the evaluation process and exercise a supportive role.  The committee shall serve as a support group for the pastors and other professional employees.  The committee shall evaluate their performance on the basis of their job description, advise them in terms of their use of continuing education opportunities, and recommend to the finance committee future compensation.  The committee, in dealing with all employees, shall place emphasis on development of God-given abilities and potential.

The Personnel Committee has placed an ad for Youth/Family Ministry in the Synod Newsletter and with over 30 Lutheran colleges and seminaries. The position will assist Pastors and focus on YOUTH; is advertised for 25-30 hours/week.

* The committee is working on the schedule and availability of staff. Personnel will be conducting staff evaluations in the near future; we are looking at different evaluation procedures. Bishop Hansen will be meeting with and evaluating our Pastors in the near future.

From the December 2006 Bethlehem Star

This committee has worked on their budget, discussed the staff work load (being aware of the extra work because of not having a person to fill the Youth & Family Ministry position). The committee continues its search.
