Firing a Teacher

I interviewed Chris Demarse and Darren Campbell on Wednesday the 11th of 2009.
I interviewed them at Darren Campbell’s house at a staff meeting.

As soon as I said the word “fire,” They cringed and said that our church is not necessarily a firing church. It is more of a finding out what their gifts are. If they are doing unwell in a position and is failing then maybe they do not have the teaching gift. It is then a matter of testing what their gifts are and how they can be used in a ministry setting. A spiritual gifts test can be used for this. Prayer should also be used. Once it is found it should be encouraged. A “hand hold motto,” may be a good idea for this person, as they may seem disgruntled in some way. So it is not really about firing. It is more about finding out what their gifts really are.
