As a ministry leader, my primary responsibility was the faith formation of the volunteers and young people I served. I accomplished this primarily through creating programs and systematized their implementation. Then I taught/empowered the volunteers how to lead these programs. My role was primarily that of event director, educator and mentor all rolled into one. I learned how to manage logistics well in these roles.

Also, in each of these positions, I was responsible for my ministry area finances. Included budgeting, expense tracking, and reporting.
