¶335 PASTORAL EVALUATION

The official board will ensure that an annual performance evaluation of the lead pastor (and other appointed staff) is done according to guidelines provided by the director of personnel’s office (see par 374.5) The evaluation is to be based on the pastor’s current official board-approved job description (built locally and reflecting the congregation’s current vision and stated mission).

If the 360 performance appraisal is used and results in an overall average score below 5.5, the results will be referred to the bishop and the ministerial education, guidance and placement committee (MEGaP) who will consult with the pastor and church.
