Fast Moving Teams


We move fast in ministry. Success is celebrated briefly, failure is quickly forgotten. We started our 7th service tonight. It was new and exciting, but within two weeks, it will be as if we have been doing it forever!

Dave Ferguson (Community Christian Church Chicago) writes (a few weeks ago) on “four rules for fast teams“, adapted from Fast Company (one of my favroutie business blogs).

1. LET THE GROUP MAKE IT’S OWN RULES.
2. SPEAK UP EARLY AND OFTEN.
3. LEARN AS YOU GO.
4. FAST HAS TO BE FUN.

Dave- I am really impressed with how connected you are to other CP’s! It kind of shocked me how helpful you are to everyone on kidology.com! Just wanted to let you know that your blog is very helpful! Are you guys doing any “Family Ministry”, where kids and parents worship together at Hillsong? E-mail or blog me!

Justin - Thanks for your kind words! Although I think that you are being kind, but I do like to help people out, and kidology is simply the best online resource for children’s pastors.

We don’t really do ‘family ministry’ in the sense of kids and parents together at Hillsong, but I do everything with families in mind. So all new families that come into the life of the church are treated as a whole unit and we focus our efforts on connecting the whole family. Parents into connect groups (smmal groups), youth in the youh department, and kids into Hillsong Kids.

Thanks again Justin, enjoy the blog!

Dave,

Shs is our Childrens’ Ministry Champion at Community (www.communitychristian.org), you would have a lot in common. Keep up the great work.
