You are encouraged to spend a season of prayer in preparation for this evaluation process.

Pastors desire to grow in effectiveness as Christian leaders. In order to assist them in their development, the Church Leadership Team (CLT) has prepared this evaluation tool, based on samples provided by our District office. It is our desire that the result of this process will contribute to the health of our pastors through an evaluation process that is a positive one, resulting in affirmation, encouragement, and where necessary, the setting of goals to assist pastors in addressing areas needing improvement. This pastoral evaluation is carried out on an annual basis.

Results can then be compared from year to year. This allows benchmarks to be established, enabling our CLT to track pastoral development over consecutive years of service.

This evaluation explores three areas of your pastor’s life and ministry effectiveness:

Chemistry: These questions relate to the social aspect in your experience with your pastor. You will consider his/her compatibility with church leadership and to what extent he/she fits the culture of your church.

Character: These questions relate to the spiritual dimension in your pastor’s life. You will consider his/her level of commitment and the level to which a sense of calling is evident.

Competency: These questions relate to the skill level at which your pastor ministers. You will consider levels of consistency and capacity in his/her pastoral leadership.

For each of the statements on the following pages, please rate your pastor on the following scale:

1. Doing Well – Pastor consistently meets and exceeds current ministry demands; and expectations.

2. Average Effectiveness – Pastor meets current basic ministry demands and expectations.

3. Needs Improvement – Pastor fails to meet current ministry demands and expectations.

D. Don’t Know – you lack sufficient information to rate this statement.

N/A. Not Applicable – you feel this statement does not apply to Pastor.

Please place a score from 1, 2, 3, D, N/A at the beginning of each question. Space is provided below each question for words of affirmation of areas of strength, or proactive plans in addressing areas needing improvement. For areas in which a ‘3’ was scored, list action steps the pastor could consider to improve and how the board can assist and support him/her in each area noted.

Thank you for your participation in this evaluation process and the ongoing development of our pastoral team!
