So often in church life, just like the corporate world, we take people who are good in ministry and try to make leaders out of them. There is a tremendous gap between people who are great with students personally and their ability to enlist, train and empower great student lay leaders. The lack of intentional leadership development for church leaders contributes more to church failures than anything else. This post by Church Fuel is a great start:
“Teams come in all sizes and styles. Some teams wear uniforms, practice daily, and compete in tournaments and championships. Some work together on a building project, a life-saving endeavor, or in pursuit of a prosecution. No matter what the team looks like, a common goal is always the pursuit.
Churches have teams, too.”
