If you’re in ministry, you’re most likely working with teams. Pastors work with ministry staff, leadership teams, church councils, boards, deacons, and missions. Student and Kid’s Ministry Leaders work with volunteers, parents, and students. Worship leaders work with band members, vocalists, tech ministry, and potentially other teams.

Whether your teams are short-term or have been serving together for years, it might be good to remind yourself of the following five commitments and share them with your teams. Consider this list as a team member as well as a team leader:

1) Commit to giving 100% 2) Commit to getting better 3) Commit to staying positive. 4) Commit to the team’s mission. 5) Commit to each other.

Don't give yourself an out... don't expect failure. Confidently talk about your plans as if you believe they could happen!

Use these substitutions:

• “When” instead of “If”
• “I will” instead of “I might” or “I’ll try”
• “I am” instead of “I hope to”
• “I have” instead of “I’m trying to”

Here are five thoughts for getting your people involved in the ministry with you as the leader:
