  • SECTION I: Characteristics and qualities of pastoral leadership

    Section 1 gives feedback about the growth opportunities that will enhance the pastor’s leadership. It is not measuring performance. Below the term Not Yet means there is important growth needed in this area to better serve the congregation. Select the phrase that best represents your assessment. A “Not Yet” may be a new term for you. It means that we believe that everyone has the capacity to improve and indicates that a leader may not be meeting expectations but with a desire to improve and support, the individual can improve in an area. Please note: Some questions on the appraisal ask for you to assess several qualities of the pastor at once. You should consider each question holistically. Think of it like baking a cake. You may have good ingredients and your mother's favorite recipe, but unless you bake it at the right temperature, it will be a "not yet."

  • Overall Assessment

  • What gifts, achievements and strengths do you identify in your pastor’s leadership?
  • What 1-2 areas do you want your pastor to further develop and grow? How will this help your pastor be a better leader?
  • SECTION 3: Assessing section 2 of the appraisal

  • The SPRC is to identify and clarify with the pastor expectations for specific competencies that the SPRC would like to further develop, using the Clergy Development Plan. Addressing these concerns immediately will prevent these areas from impacting the pastor’s overall leadership.
  • The SPRC chairperson is to complete the appraisal form and contact Nicola Mulligan at nmulligan@gnjumc.org . You will receive specific information and support in setting benchmarks, a development plan, and a quarterly appraisal.
  • Clergy who would like to respond to their evaluation should share their reflections via email to the SPRC chair with a copy to Nicola Mulligan at nmulligan@gnjumc.org
