From Rotas to Teams
Why is it important to move from church rotas to ministry teams?
Watch/Listen on:
This is the first part of an informal discussion about church growth and leadership between three experienced pastors. Listen to the whole conversation.
Some discussion questions:
- How are your ministries organised: everyone doing a little, or a few doing everything, or do you have teams in place? Do any of your ministries ever ‘step back’ and really reflect on how things could be done better?
- If you are a senior leader or a sole pastor, describe to someone else the training you are giving those involved in leading any kind of small group. How effective is it?
- How are you wired along the optimist/pessimist, and then the introvert/extrovert, spectrum? Do you see ways in which this affects your ministry and any teams you lead?
