Props to our Staff
Just wanted to blog our staff on the back.
So grateful for an amazing team. I've said it a hundred times, but who you do ministry with determines how much you enjoy ministry. That is why hiring staff is so important--it is a major key to church culture and church growth. You've got to get the right people on the bus--people who are passionate about Christ, have a sense of humor, love what they do, have good people skills, self-motivated, etc.
One of my great joys in ministry right now is seeing our staff come into their own. It is pure joy watching them preach; disciple; create; administrate; and serve. So proud of them. I still feel the cumulative stress. That is part of being a lead pastor. But they take so much pressure off of me! I was gone all week last week and NCC doesn't skip a beat.
Obviously, if I was gone too much it would take a toll. I would lose the pulse. And we would experience a disconnection. But I feel like I'm a better pastor when I go away and come back. I see that withdrawl pattern in Jesus.
I guess what I'm saying is this: so grateful for our team!
