Creating a Ministry Community

Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

Ministry Community - A gathering of the primary ministry team leaders into a relational community to better allow communication, coordination, planning, strategizing and the sharing of ideas. The Ministry Community does not have decision making authority other than the authority each of its ministry team leaders already has.

Members – Staff, PLT, and the leaders of many of the ministry teams of the church.
Connections, Women’s, Men’s, WAMM, Care, Missions, Students, Childrens, and Building. This would create a community of about 13 to 15 members.

Meetings – This Ministry Community would meet together up to once per month during seasons of planning and change and less frequently but never less than once per quarter during seasons when things are running smoothly.

Each meeting would consist of Vision/Huddle/Skills. We hear the dreams of each ministry team, and give feedback. We will “huddle” in small groups in mixed groups to discuss issues, and lastly the skills section addresses our own walk with God and ministry skills.

Proposed meeting dates:
June 6th – 1st meeting – 11:30 to 1:30 Lunch provided
July 18th 10:30 to 12:30
August 22nd 10:30 to 12:30

The agenda for summer discussion probably will include:
1. The disciplepath for LCC and it’s effect on Home groups, Men’s groups, Women’s groups, SS, Connections etc.
2. Launching EPIC Student ministry.
3. Orange focus for children’s ministry
4. Capitol campaign and building plans
5. Missions proposal for partnership with church in Mexico
6. Adopting new Missions partnerships
7. Fuse type events for summer and fall
8. Men’s Retreat
9. Preaching and worship schedules
10. Retrofitting our worship space
