Team Expectations

There will be two very different types of people on our launch team:  non-Christians and Christians.

This might sound strange, but there are many people who are not Christians, or who may be Christians who have drifted away from God and church, who get excited about the idea of starting a church that isn’t like the church of their negative stereotypes.  Once we move to we hope to build relationships with non-Christians and invite them to be a part of starting our new church.

Expectations for non-Christians on the Launch Team:  None.

We believe the only expectations here are the ones God puts on us to love them, lead them, and help them to grow spiritually.

Expectations for Christians on the Launch Team:

• Feel called by God to be a part of the launch team.

• Believe in and support the vision, values, process, and practices of our church.

• Pray consistently for the church.

• Own a ministry area:  Our hope is that our launch team members will not merely be volunteers but will be leaders in ministry areas.  As leaders, they will own that area, have an apprentice, and recruit and train volunteers to serve in that ministry.

• Serve in another ministry area if needed, but seek to train up a replacement so they can focus on the ministry area they own.

• Host block parties (if possible) and/or other relationship building events.

• Build relationships and invite people to preview services and social events.

• Participate in community service events whenever possible.

• Tithe a full 10% of gross income to our church.

• Attend and participate in launch team meetings.
