Committee Purpose
(select excerpts from the publication Pastor-Parish Relations: Connecting the Pastor, Staff and Congregation)

The Staff-Parish Relations Committee (SPRC) is the administrative unit in a local church where staff and congregational interests come together to focus on the mission of the church. SPRC has both leadership and management functions in the congregation. Leadership is the role of "keeping an eye on the big picture." Management is the role of tending to daily activities so that the details are taken care of and strategies are implemented. SPRC has primary responsibility to work with staff so that the mission of the church is realized. SPRC works with individuals and groups, including:

• The senior pastor

• The lay staff

• The congregation

• Candidates for ordained ministry

• The district superintendent

• The United Methodist conference staff
