THE VALLEY VIEW
Pastor Tim
"The odds are slim that a team will do a good job..."
Ouch! Not exactly the most encouraging sentence you could ever read. Also, if you have been on many teams or committees the statement may ring a little true.
Most churches, including ours, are structured around teams and committees. Which is why I picked up Teams that Thrive by Ryan Hartwig and Warren Bird.
The book identifies several keys to a successful team --
1) Teams make decisions.
Healthy teams don't just give reports or make lists of what is wrong. Teams that thrive change the status quo.
2) Teams make decisions that matter.
Strong teams aren't frustrated by big or complicated problems, they are energized by them. The problems are why they exist and why they have been given leadership.
In fact, teams will struggle if there isn't a situation waiting for them to make a difference.
3) Teams make decisions that matter, with the entire church in mind.
This is a big factor in my experience. Teams must think and act beyond their own circle, preference, or constituency and focus on the overall health and purpose of the church.
A few other highlights from the book included a list of reasons that teams fail sometimes --
#1 Everything is a priority, so nothing is a priority.
#5 Absence of Godly character among the team. (A little low on list for me.)
#6 Confusion over the team's purpose.
#8 Dysfunctional team communication practices.
I certainly have "been there, and felt that!" I have often struggled as a leader with #1 on that list.
I picked up this book with the effectiveness of our Ministry Council in mind. But by the end of the book, I was certain this would be a helpful resource to all of our teams at Valley.
In your experience what has been a key to a great team?
Your pastor,
Tim

We are located at the corner of Hwy 41 and Richmond. Follow the signs to enter our parking lot off of Seneca and Chippewa St.
We have a Wednesday night service at 6:15 p.m. Sunday services are held at 8:00 a.m. and 10:45 p.m. with Sunday school for all ages at 9:30 a.m.
As you enter our campus, you may either turn left to a smaller, upper parking lot or you may go right where you will find a larger parking lot behind our building. Entrances to the building are located in both areas.
Valley Baptist strives to be a community of children, youth, parents, and adults, laboring together to pursue Christ. We come alongside families, offering discipleship classes for all ages, training for parents, and outreach events for the entire family. Nursery is available during both worship services for ages birth-3. Older children and youth participate alongside adults in worship. See our Family Ministries page or Sunday Bible Studies page for a description of current classes and discipleship opportunities.
Our church services will have a mixture of contemporary and traditional worship music and a focus on a message from the Bible that will explain the meaning of the biblical passage and help you make application of the truths from that passage to your life. We occasionally have mission presentations or ministry reports from our mission teams as they minister in various places.
Please contact the church office for additional information on areas of interest.
Our Sunday School classes or Adult Bible studies on Sunday mornings are open classes where everyone is welcome to visit a class and settle down in the one that you find desirable.
The expectation here at Valley is that everyone will serve in some way. The first step is to complete the Membership Class that is offered periodically. Then you may contact any staff or Ministry Council member to find an area in which to serve.
