MINISTRY ACTION TEAMS
A Word About the Process
Below is a list of the Ministry Action Teams (MAT) that will comprise the ministry at The Bridge Fellowship (TBF). The descriptions are clear and broad. That is for a reason. As you read through the descriptions of each understand that it is a breathing document. That means, as the teams form, it will be up to them to honor the spirit of each description but to put their fingerprints on it and make it their own, in collaboration with the elders.
You are needed at TBF because the Lord has placed you here. That means that you should join one or more of these MAT’s. As you begin to pray and make your choices, please consider the following:
You are needed at TBF because the Lord has placed you here. That means that you should join one or more of these MAT’s. As you begin to pray and make your choices, please consider the following:
- If you are already on a team, please indicate your desire to stay on that team or your desire to try something different.
- Each commitment is for one year. We understand that circumstances can change your availability. However, short of significant impediments we are asking each member to invest one calendar year of the date you join. This allows you the flexibility to try something different at the end of the year and it also allows for the ministry to have consistency, a key factor in developing a culture of excellence and fruitfulness.
