Schedule of a Campus Pastor

One of the most common misconceptions about campus pastors is that they do not have a lot on their plate. The reality is, a campus pastor has a massive amount of responsibility that they must take care of throughout the week. Inherently, a large amount of responsibility equates to a busy schedule. As the role of a campus pastor demands a busy schedule, it is important to understand how to manage your weekly routine in a way that ensures that you are getting your work finished. It is also important to solidify your weekly routine so that you can accomplish what is best for your congregation and the rest of your staff. Setting a specific role for each day of the week will help you maximize the use of your time.

As you are planning out your weekly schedule, you should allow time for yourself to simply connect with your staff and connect with people in your congregation and in the community. If you spend your entire week sitting behind your desk, chances are you will be productive, but you will not be able to form the connection that you need to form as a campus pastor. Every church is set up different, you have a different set of responsibilities than every other campus pastor in the world, but there are some basic things that are shared among campus pastors that must be utilized throughout the week. In this video, you will learn what these things are and how you can apply them to your week.

Finding a good balance between time spent on the tasks that need to be done in the office, connecting with people, preparing a message for the weekend, and whatever you may need to do in addition to this is key. In this video, Pastor Kirk Graham will walk you through his idea of a wise, practical weekly routine by providing specific strategies for each day of the week.
