Here's my question, and I couldn't figure out where to ask it.
I'm interested in resources and ideas to help us do better at our greeting and ushering ministries. Where should this go?

I'd put it under Worship. I like to use the categories listed at the top of the page whenever I can.
Rebecca,
I agree with Mavis that Worship is perhaps the best place to post your question. I encourage you to do so and I hope you get some good feedback.
Thanks for your question and thank you Mavis for your suggestion.

Rebecca,
When you posted your initial question we were a bit stumped as to where it would fit. Our suggestion of placement in the Worship forum was a “closest fit” suggestion considering what was currently available, not a “perfect fit” suggestion. It is an ongoing effort to find the right categories that meet the ministry needs of those who use The Network.
Thank you for your suggestion and topic ideas regarding a “Welcoming Ministries” category. We will discuss this with our team. In the meantime, I would still encourage you to post any specific questions you have as a topic in the Worship forum or another category you feel may fit (perhaps ministry coordinators?). That way the conversation gets started and the community can respond.
Does anyone have a standard form for evaluating/reviewing the pastor of the congregation?

Darryl,
Here is a blog post on our Church Administration Network that may a good resource for you to check out:

You can also post your question as a forum topic on the Church Administration forum to see if others from The Network community have resources to share:

You can contact Jeanne Kallemeyn in Pastor-Church Relations at [email protected] or call 877-279-9994 ext. 1152 to get the form for evaluating/reviewing the pastor.

Our church calls this ministry area "connections." The connections area is not just about welcoming but also fellowship activities. Our ushers still come under "Worship" but our Welcoming Center, Sunday coffee, Discovering Membership, the "Fun Bunch," etc. are all ministries in the area of "connections."
The "Fun Bunch" plans multigenerational fellowship activities throughout the year such as Dinner for Eight, Harvest Festival, Summer Picnic, Talent Night, Chili Cookoff, and whatever new thing they come up with!
