Not A Mega Church? Building a Youth Ministry that Lasts no matter what size Church you are!

Am I the only one working without a job description?

Last week I had an interesting discussion about job performance with my Senior Pastor.  It was very good and helpful but the problem was that as we were trying to go over how I've been performing of late, we had nothing to gauge it by.  You see, ever since I have been at my Church (the past 6 1/2 years) I have never had a job description!  I know that is bad and partly my fault as I should have requested one be done when I started.  But alas, here we were debating my job performance with nothing to point to.  It was at that point that I requested a formal job description be done and we agreed that work on one would begin immediately.

This experience got me thinking.  Am I the only youth minister in the world working without a job description?  Even my Associate has a job description (An Elder and I crafted one for her before she came on board).  I know small or medium size churches are a little less structured than bigger churches, but I would think most youth ministers would have a job description.  Am I right or just dreaming?  Take the poll and let me know your thoughts.

In addition, the best comment involving youth ministry job descriptions will get a $5 gift card to Starbucks sent to them.
