Regardless of job function, every church staff has a spiritual role in “why” and “how” they work. Therefore, all Administrative Assistants are called to:

1. Walk with God. (Micah 6:8; Gal. 5:16; Eph. 5:18-20) The Church is not a secular institution where task results are the only thing that matters. The church office is a spiritual environment negatively affected by sin in either action or attitude.
2. Work as Unto the Lord. (Col. 3:23-24; Eccl. 9:9b-10a; Mt. 25:40). Whatever the task, no matter how mundane, we are called to perform it with all our heart as if we do it for Christ Himself.
3. Serve Leadership and the Church. (1 Pt. 4:10-11; Gal. 5:13-14) As Jesus said, “…I am among you as the One who serves” (Lk.22:27). Through serving leadership, we share in the fruit of them being able to devote themselves to “prayer and the ministry of the Word” (Acts 6:2).
4. Represent Christ. (2 Cor. 2:15; 1 Pt. 2:12) As employees of FBCFO, we have the privilege and responsibility to represent Christ to believers and unbelievers. How we work and treat people reflects not just on us but on the Church and Christ.
5. Maintain Healthy Relationships. (1 Cor. 13:1-8; Mt. 5:23-25; Eph. 4:1-3) One of the greatest hindrances to healthy ministry is not managing relationships healthily. Regardless of how much we know, our ministry is constrained by our ability to relate. Relationships are the bridge we carry truth across and that on which the whole law depends.
6. Faithful Stewardship (1 Cor. 4:1-5; Mt. 25:14-30) What is required of stewards is that one be found trustworthy or reliable. The results of our faithfulness are ultimately up to God. We are accountable, however, for being faithful stewards of the responsibilities entrusted to us. In the parable of the talents, greater responsibility was given to those found faithful, and responsibility was taken from those who were not.
