Abstract

The goal of this project is to determine the lay expectation of the clergy within four roles of ministry. These roles are administration, denominational and ecumenical responsibilities, evangelism, and leading worship and preaching. The scope of the study has been limited to the expectations of the laity within the United Church of Christ in the Lehigh Valley. It has been limited to this group for several reasons. This is the denomination of which I am a member and the area in which I currently live. The churches were readily accessible to my study. The research was aided financially and developmentally by the Penn Northeast Conference of the United Church of Christ, which includes the Lehigh Valley as one of its major areas. The project is in response to several areas of concern within the practice of ministry. Job descriptions are a part of most secular employment. These descriptions help the employee determine the expectations under which the employee will work. There are probably parts of the job not covered in the description, but the description will be helpful in meeting or understanding the basic expectations of the employer or client in respect to that job.
