Good Football Teams Watch Film on Saturday Mornings

We meet with our volunteer leaders team about 12 times a year. Typically, this is the season of the semester when volunteers get busy and tired and begin wondering about the importance of our gatherings. We think all of our meetings are a valuable piece of our ministry and consider it important for everyone on our team to be at each one. Here are three reasons we try to communicate with our team about why each meeting is important:

COMMUNITY
We strongly believe that it is important that our team members are continually aware of the fact that we are a part of something that is bigger than ourselves and our individual groups and ministries. Every leader plays a role in supporting the bigger community of our team. It means a lot to us as a staff to have each leaders support in our efforts to continually develop and maintain a strong sense of team.

VALUE & EQUIPPING
We work diligently to plan and be sure that all the things we're talking about at meetings connect and apply to what leaders are doing as they serve students. Our leaders all need to be reminded of the eternal value of our service and the importance of being equipped to grow and improve in our efforts to reach young people for Christ.

COMMITMENT & INTEGRITY
As part of the application, all of our leaders sign a covenant and part of it is committing to be at meetings. We encourage each of our leaders to make meetings a priority as a simple matter of sticking with the commitments they have made. We try to help our leaders succeed at this by scheduling our meetings before each semester begins and making sure everyone has the dates on their calendar and can work out their personal schedules accordingly.
