Deacon
/ Deaconess of Buildings and Grounds (the
role and responsibility)
First let it be said that this description of the
role and responsibility of the deacon of Buildings and
Grounds is designed as a guide to help empower and not
inhibit the process of service.
The aim and desire is for the real properties of the
church here in Morton to be kept in good and serviceable
order so that our presence here in the Morton Community will
be attractive and inviting and functional.
To help accomplish these objectives we see the need
for creating and fill this responsibility by the following
means: ·
See that
building is kept in usable and presentable condition for
services and other activities of the Church. ·
Give
consideration to the future needs and provide to the board
timely recommendations ·
See that the
grounds are maintained and attractive to the church
population and general public. (curb appeal) ·
Ensure the
parsonage remains in good and functional shape. ·
Enlist the
necessary manpower from within the congregation to
accomplish the various tasks as needed. ·
Plan and
organize work days as needed for various projects and duties
as needed. ·
Seek outside
bids/contractors for jobs larger than congregations
abilities ·
Communicate to
and with the board and church body at regular intervals to
maintain continuity. It
is to be understood that the by-laws and the board of
directors have jurisdiction over the limitations of this
position in regards to expenditures and the scope and nature
of the various projects beyond general maintenance and up
keep. A working capitol will be provided for the carrying
out of the various duties with a monthly limit set by the
board. Any expenditure that exceeds this amount will need
clearance from the board. (it
should also be noted that it is not expected that the Deacon
be responsible to personally do all labor themselves but
rather to see that it is accomplished.)
