What Operations Team Is – and What Operations Is Not
Clear expectations help the church operate effectively. The Operations Team provides support and leadership in many areas, but it does not replace the leadership or responsibilities of ministry teams.
Operations Is
The steward of the church’s financial, physical, and operational resources
- The team responsible for systems, processes, and infrastructure
- A support partner to ministries and campuses
- A leader in risk management, safety, and responsible stewardship
- A team that creates environments where ministry can flourish
Operations Is Not
- The decision-maker for ministry strategy or programming
- Responsible for leading ministry teams or spiritual formation initiatives
- A replacement for ministry leadership responsibility
- A barrier to ministry innovation or creativity
Instead, Operations works collaboratively with ministry leaders, campus pastors, to ensure that vision-driven ministry can happen effectively, responsibly, and sustainably.
