Question: What kind of people do you look for to be involved in the church administrative team and in church council?
Answer: If I could pick my dream team, let’s agree that these would all fit the standards laid out in scripture. They are also tithing partners (members) and are not new to the church. Obviously I want people with some administrative gifting. Gary Smalley calls them Beavers…the DISK profile calls them High Cs. In the beginning, with a small team I want someone with great organizational skills and someone with great management skills. I also think it is great to have someone with just great wisdom and good old common sense. Marketing people are great to help know how to make proposals and deliver results effectively. To offer balancing perspectives, I prefer to have both genders represented, as well as, differing ethnicities and age groups.
