In addition, you might consider some advice from Glenn Burris, Jr., district supervisor for the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel in Concord, North Carolina. No Substitute for Experience Mature workers who are experienced in dealing with different people in different communities can be excellent prospects for church work. That's because the people that many churches serve represent a wide spectrum of the total population. Church workers must deal with people of all ages, ethnic backgrounds, socio-economic levels, and nationalities. A mature worker is better prepared to deal with this variety of people, whereas younger workers need time to learn how.
Experienced workers lead others by example.
A Strong Work Ethic Seniors who have a sense of purpose in their life usually show that in their work. You can't assume all seniors have this, of course. But you can determine it from their manner, their answers to probing questions, and by talking to the people they list as references. You will find that most people enjoy talking about what kind of work they did and what they accomplished. Listen carefully to what they say.
