Leadership Skill: Team Building
Biblical Basis for Team Building in Ministry:
Just as the varying parts of the human body need each other to best accomplish its work, so the Body of Christ needs to function interdependently, like a team. (Rom. 12:4-8; 1 Cor. 12:12-27). God so designed the Church that it "grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work" (Eph. 4:16).By following God's design you will:
- accomplish more than if working on one's own in terms of possibly both quantity and quality
- have varying perspectives brought to the table that help one see more clearly
- bring a sense of accountability to individuals that help them and the whole Body grow
- affirm and encourage one another in their walk with God
Think About It:
How can you better line up with God's design without losing the uniqueness He built into you?
