The most valuable asset people can give to your church is their time. 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. Ministry is the work of the church . The more people you involve in maintenance decisions, the more you keep them from ministry. We have no committees at our church. We do, however, have 150 different lay ministries.
