Team training enables people to learn new skills. Most church members have only served on committees. It takes training to help members understand their empowerment to determine a course of action they will complete without direct supervision. The training should include helping each team write its purpose statement as well as determining the expectations of the team. Writing goals and action plans helps the team move into action.
Action is the basis for teams.
Teams also need training in basic meeting skills. Holding each other accountable for the team expectations and determining a tentative agenda for the next meeting will help speed the process in assigning to individuals the action items designed to help a team accomplish its purpose. Develop a plan for transitioning to the new structure. Many details need to be worked out. It is too easy to overlook some aspect of the church's ministry.
