The Staff-Parish Relations Committee is the administrative unit in a local church where staff and congregational interests are integrated to focus on the mission of the church.
The "Pastor-Parish Relations Committee (PPRC)" is truly a Staff-Parish Relations Committee (SPRC) because the committee relates to all staff, both bishop-appointed staff and employed staff....The S/PPRC has some of the same functions of a personnel office or Human Resources department in other organizations.
Primary Tasks of the Committee
- Explaining the nature and function of ministry to the staff and the congregation
- Conferring with the congregation and the staff/pastor about ministry direction
- Assessing the ministry of the congregation and the staff/pastor at least annually
- Conferring and consulting with the district superintendent
- Supporting lifelong learning for all staff (continuing education)
- Identifying and supporting individuals from the congregation whom God seems to be calling for ordained ministry
- Making recommendations regarding compensation, travel, benefits and housing to the church council
- Recommending needed staff positions and develop written job descriptions and titles for associate pastors and staff
