I have never led a church staff before. So, I am not even beginning to pretend to think that I have everything figured out. Actually, far from it. I have so much to learn it’s overwhelming. However, there are some things at Remedy Church that we as a staff have done and are doing. I believe its important for the staff to be growing together, so we are trying to foster and facilitate an environment for this.
For example, the week of Easter, as a staff, we all read in the Gospels all the accounts of Jesus’ betrayal, trial and death. We read them and meditated on them together so we were all ready on Easter Sunday to rejoice together about the Resurrection.
Some other things that we have done (or doing) are memorizing Scripture together (Romans 8), reading books together (currently “The Cross and Christian Leadership” by DA Carson) and fasting together in prayer for the church.
Lastly, we want to exercise not just minds, but also our bodies. Thus, we lift after every staff meeting on Monday nights. We are getting huge. Some don’t lift weights though. Can you guess who?
