7 Deadly Sins of a College Minister

1.  NOT getting the contact info of a student who attends your ministry event for the first time.

2.  NOT having a clear understanding of spoken and unspoken expectations of employers, stakeholders, or supervisors. (Yes, unspoken expectations can bite you.)

3.  A campus based College Minister NOT having clear on-going communications with supporting churches.

4.  NOT writing personal thank you notes to contributors and others who are making it possible for you to do what you do.

5.  Loose handling or poor accounting of finances AND cash payments handed to you by students.

6.  NOT balancing family, ministry, and personal and spiritual self care.

7.  NOT being clearly appropriate and above reproach in opposite sex relationships, meetings, etc. (This is not just about how it is, but how it LOOKS.)
