Do you realize that one major reason many church members aren't active in ministry is because they're so busy attending meetings that they have no time left for real ministry. If you're serious about mobilizing your members for ministry, you must streamline your structure.
Committees discuss while ministries do.
Committees argue while ministries act. Committees maintain while ministries minister. Committees talk and consider while ministries serve and care. Committees discuss needs while ministries meet needs. We must minimize maintenance in order to maximize time for ministry.
