Church planting teams are small, or they start small. There’s an all hands on deck sort of feel for quite awhile. While possible, it’s tough to silo yourself in the beginning. Your influence on each other can be so strong as you strive to maintain a we’re all in this together attitude.

As the church grows, each team member builds a team of his or her own. When this happens, how do you maintain influence with your First Team?

There’s many ways, but one that I reflected on today and wish to pass on is this: Practice caring more about your teammates ministry than they show interest in yours.

Make it a priority & block out the necessary time, to genuinely care for and serve your teammates and their ministries.
