We moved him into his office this morning, did some calling this afternoon, and generally helped to get his feet under him. That said, Chris is a remarkably organized and eager to work. He has given me a wonderful first impression by walking in the first day with new schedules and lesson plans already written. He even has service projects planned and a youth group t-shirt designed online. How impressive!I feel like Chris will help bring out the administrative side of me. In some ways I'm super-organized but in other ways I procrastinate or get overwhelmed. Working with Chris ought to help me apply more structure to the work I do at the church. In ministry you really need to be a self-starter and Chris has this in spades.
Already I can see the wisdom in hiring an experienced 31-year-old youth minister vs. an inexperienced 21-year-old. Chris knows what he's doing and he's done it before. It seems like this might be a really smart move for our church family.
