This year I feel directed, by the Lord, to build our church by focusing on building teams. I’ve literally surrounded myself with four teams that I’m personally building and leading. And it’s through these teams that I intend to reach the next level of influence in our region.
Here are my four teams:
- Elders/ Board of Directors – They lead our church with me.
- Ministry Team – These are leaders of all our departments and ministries. Our executive pastor helps manage each ministry.
- Prayer Team – These are a handful of people don’t just engage in prayer, but lead all prayer meetings and gatherings as well.
- Preaching Team – These are those that I’ve recognized in theme an ability to teach and preach. They help with pulpit duties are responsible to pray and fast in order to effectively preach God’s Word.
I believe the only way to reach any region is to build successful teams. And doing this is no easy task. To be part of a team requires less self-identity and more corporate identity. It simply cuts against the grain of today’s culture.
The neat thing is that I’m also in a team myself. I’m part of a team that is helping build a network of churches. I’m not at liberty to say of yet; I do know it will be very big! And this really excites me to the core!
What team are you a part of?
