The Value Of A Team, Chuck Olson
The Value Of A Team, Chuck Olson
Journal of the American Society for Church Growth
Team ministry is one of the new trends in church ministry. Of course, team ministry is not all that new. Moses led the children of Israel out of Egypt with a team, Jesus trained a team of leaders to start the church, and Paul planted churches through a team. Working with teams, however, does present us with new challenges in today’s complex world. As an experienced executive pastor responsible to lead staff teams in larger churches, Chuck Olson presents some new ideas on how to build team unity and spirit in his article “The Values of a Team.”

Welcome to Supervised Ministries! Supervised Ministries is a required core component of the academic curriculum. It aims to bridge the gap between strictly academic theology and ministry practice. It integrates the light of the chapel, classroom and library with the field laboratory. That is, we want to reduce the gap between learned theology and internalized theology which applies itself to Christian experience and ministry practice. As John Wesley, quoting an ancient, quipped, “God made divinity practical”.
