Building A Dream Team

This week I want to spend some time sharing with you the core values of a great team. These values are the most crucial elements to any team, especially our pastoral staff here at PCC.

Please keep in mind that these elements or qualities are ranked according to importance.

1. CALLING

You have to be called to be in full time ministry. I don't know how to define it, but I know it when I see it.

Here are some thoughts concerning the call:

*irresistible urge to love God and others
*sustains you in ministry once the honeymoon is over
*it's uniquely personal - between you and God
*leaves you no other option in life but to serve God by serving others
*nurtured through personal intimacy with Christ
*views every ministry assignment as important
*more than a feeling - it's a "knowing" in your gut that this is what you were put on this earth to do
*it grows with you

So, what are you called to do? Post a comment and keep the conversation going.
