In reality I am just the opposite from that picture and of course that picture was just for fun too. It was taken at my middle sons wedding and that's my youngest son with me. He commented our suites looked really cool like some tough guys thus the funny pose.
I call myself a hybrid in church work. There is so much operation, finance, and facility work in a church that so many times that is the primary work of the church administrator. I am not saying that if that is all you did, you would be a pain and hard to work with, but I know many are like that in this scenario. They get the job done and go home and that's all they handle. This type of church administrator is very common.
I was told once by a co-worker that I was the mildest and most laid back church administrator he had ever worked with.
I'm a hybrid because I do church administration but I also do ministry as an ordained minister. I can marry you, bury you, and count your money! I do my fair share of funerals and have done many weddings along the way! At my first church in 1995 the pastor pulled his back out and I was asked to handle baptisms. I ended up baptizing over 100 people in one year along side of being the Business Manager / Children Minister. Now that's a combination for you!
Today I still baptize, conduct a wedding now and then and lead a funeral. I am also a mentor ,make hospital visits each week, go on mission trips, and other ministry activities.. In other words I do ministry and church business at the same time. I'm a hybrid!
