Experienced administrators have been asked to share “one thing” that they have learned that has impacted their ministry. Learned from our mistakes as well as our successes. We have traveled down this road before you; our desire is to assist you on your journey.
By:Brian Simmons, Ed.D.
It has been said that experience is the best teacher, but I have learned
that experience sometimes is also the most painful teacher. A wise man

and more highly compensated in your next administrative position than
you are in the present one. Generally speaking, this is simply not the
case.

were learned quickly and with ease while others were learned slowly and
painfully, but all, when applied, made a difference in my life. One of
the most important lesson I learned came as a result of realizing that
because I served a God of balance and order that my life and ministry
would be most productive when balance and orderliness characterized who
I was and what I did.
