It’s All Admin is a series of conversations with Wayne Schache (Operations and Finance Director) and Catharina Siraa (Administration Advisor) from the Baptist National Support Centre (for the Baptist Union of New Zealand). It's All Admin is aimed at supporting church leadership (pastors, elders, ministry leaders) and administrators (church office, admin people, secretaries and treasurers) with the admin side of local church life. In less than 10-minute chunks you get the low down on all the boring church admin stuff without having to scroll through a seemingly endless email. Turn on your Baptist NZ app notifications or follow on Spotify or Apple Podcasts to get an annoying alert whenever there’s something new.
