STRUCTURE FROM AGILE MINISTRIES

• Without structure, your ministry will not effectively meet the needs of others. Selecting the wrong structure will not only impact how you execute as a ministry, it often leads to dysfunction across the church.

• Does your team have a well-defined structure (peer-based, team-based, or depth-based)?

• Without structure, your volunteers will not know where and when to go when they need help. They’ll feel helpless and give up.

• Is your team structure documented (organizational chart or outline)?

• Your team needs to know where to go when they need help, so make it easy on them by keeping a chart available and up-to-date.

• Does your team have job descriptions for each job role your team performs, including the duration required for new signups?

• How can your team do their job if they don’t know what their job is? Make short, easy to understand job descriptions that help everyone stay focused.

• Do you have a process for locating new managers and leaders to grow your team?
  

• Developing structure helps you to see where future managers and leaders are needed. Develop a simple process for locating these future team members.
