Our pastoral team has been at our Ministry Network District Summit the past two days in Appleton, Wisconsin. It's an annual gathering of all the Assemblies of God pastors throughout our state.
In his book, Jesus on Leadership, C. G. Wilkes shares six benefits of teams:
- Teams involve more people, thus affording more resources, ideas and energy than would an individual.
- Teams maximize a leader’s potential and minimize his or her weaknesses.
- Teams provide multiple perspectives on how to meet a need or reach a goal, devising several alternatives for each situation.
- Teams share the credit for victories and the blame for losses.
- Teams keep leaders accountable for the goal.
- Teams can do more than an individual.
President Woodrow Wilson once said, “We should not only use all the brains we have, but all that we can borrow.”
Today, I would like to introduce you to our amazing pastoral leadership team, with whom I have the pleasure of working every week:
Dan Remus - Co-Lead
Jason Held - Administrative Executive Team
Jon Brown - Student Ministries
Mat Angulo - Associate Student Ministries
Benny Ferguson - Worship & Creative Arts
Jason Lowe - Communications & Worship
Bob Griffith - Children & Family Ministries
Jonathan Foster - Associate Children & Family Ministries
Lisa Kurman - Life Development
Gabe Mills - Journey Ministry College & Fusion
Susan Nelson - Christian Life School Administrator
And here is an extra shout-out to three of our pastors who received special honors at this year's District Summit:
Lisa Kurman, who received her certificate of ministry -- Jonathan Foster, who received his Assemblies of God license to preach -- and Jason Held, who became a presbyter to our District, representing ALL the staff pastors of our entire state.
WAY TO GO TEAM! PROUD OF YOU GUYS & GIRLS!
And be blessed.
