Want to build up your kidmin team of staff members and volunteers? That’s a noble goal. After all, your ministry will go only to the level that you and your team can take it.
Investing in people is key to a thriving children’s ministry. So consider these 5 ways to create and nurture a strong kidmin team.
5 Ways To Build a Strong KidMin Team
1. Lead with vision.
This is the primary reason anyone should, and would, join your team. Is your vision big? clear? compelling? Is the vision you ask them to follow meaningful? Something they can contribute to?
Paint a great picture of where the kidmin team is heading. Then you’re more likely to have a great team!
2. Engage with sincerity.
In other words, love your people. Serve them. Take care of them. Listen to them. Solve problems with them. Care about what they care about—sincerely.
3. Create a clear path to success.
Communicate responsibilities and expectations. Create systems and processes. Encourage people along the way. Let them know where they’re going and how to get there.
4. Live life with them.
Life happens. Hurts, losses, and unexpected bends in the road are all part of the journey. So are growth, personal accomplishment, and celebration. As leaders, we need to flex, support, and be there when life happens to our team members. Then they will most likely still be there with us when that life event is over.
