Having a team of people around you is great! I love the team members that I get to serve with at my church. They are all about ministry to kids and families… I am truly blessed.

But just having a team is not enough. You have to be willing to do some things, not just to keep your team… but to help them move to the next level.  I’ve assembled a list of some of the things you’d better be doing if you want your ministry to grow:

• Pray for them.
• Continually speak the vision of the house.
• Continually interpret the vision of the house so KidMin Leaders can run with it.
• Actually meet with them as a team on a regular basis.
• Actually meet with them individually on a regular basis.
• Find out that one key resource each of your team members needs, and get it for them.
• Look for resources they’re not asking for, and surprise them with it.
• Provide training and ministry enhancement opportunities.
• Read through a book with them.
• Set up regularly scheduled evaluation meetings for each member.
• Promote them publicly (Brag them up around EVERYONE).
• Remove team members who won’t propel forward.
• Add to the team people who have proven themselves.
• Show appreciation to each member.
