Tomorrow (Saturday 15th June) our church elders and our core leadership team will spend the day together looking at two key topics.
1. How can we work best as elders and a leadership team to strengthen and better lead the church. This is the focus of the morning and will be facilitated by Tim Pidsley who is an organisational guru and someone who can help us tune our governance and leadership roles. Operating with a leadership team is a different model to the Senior Pastor leader model that most churches operate. And it creates a more complex interaction between the two teams. So we are all upskilling together by looking at purr respective roles, scenarios from the past and potential issues of the future.
2. We are focusing our attention on the decision to build a new church and ministry hub. Over the last 18 months we have been in conversation with a land owner in the Wigram area and looking at the potential need for a new site. The focus of tomorrow's discussion will be on the processes we need to go forward. processes like how we undertake due diligence on the land, developing a master plan of what we sense we need to be building, communication with the church and how would a final decision be made.
Your prayers for tomorrow would be much appreciated.
thanks heaps
