“Create a left-to-right church org chart with the Elder Board above the Senior Pastor. Under the Senior Pastor show four ministry leads: Worship Director with Music Coordinator, Discipleship Director with Groups Coordinator, Next Gen Director with Children's Coordinator, and Outreach Director with Service Coordinator.”
Read the decisions behind it.
The Elder Board is placed at the start of the chart to show governance and spiritual oversight.
The Senior Pastor has four direct ministry leads, keeping leadership ownership clear at card size.
Each ministry lead has one coordinator, showing a manageable next level without making labels too small.
Role titles, rather than individual names, make this a reusable staffing template.
Use it for a congregation that needs a clear leadership hierarchy and ministry ownership. Use a volunteer roster or process map when the need is scheduling people or documenting a ministry workflow.
