1. Trust comes with experience, not with the job, the office or the title.
2. Trust comes with personal contact, not with mass ministry.
3. Trust comes with time.
4. Do not insist that people trust you. You must earn their confidence. They will give you their trust when they decide it’s safe, you are dependable, and they are ready.
5. Do nothing abruptly (without proper preparation for your members and in particular your leaders) that is a departure from the norm.
6. Show yourself trustworthy in the routine ministry—sermons, administration, leadership of the staff, leadership of the program and then the extras: weddings, funerals, crisis counseling, etc.
