I work with a team to lead our church. We call them the Operations Team. They oversee the operations of the church, and submit to personal coaching for personal growth. It's the second purpose that makes me the most excited. I love seeing people grow, coming to new discoveries of themselves and their influence of others.
Joining me and Christine Duerling, we are about to add two new members to the OT . Rob Noeth is an up and coming leader among us. You may know him as the bassist in our worship band. He has committed relationship with Christ and a true servant's heart. Alma Soto has also agreed to join the OT. She has been serving in our children's ministry and works diligently each week setting up on Sunday mornings. Both Rob and Alma work full-time in the area and attend school. Their commitment to the church is not an easy one, but both have commented on their excitement to be part of the OT.
We study a book each week and discuss/apply it in our weekly meeting related to areas in the church that we lead. We're going back to the beginning; the book that started the journey of leadership and personal growth in me. Developing the Leader Within You by John Maxwell was the first book that I ever owned. It was a gift to me from my friend Phil. As a young man he discerned leadership ability in me and gave me that book as a catalyst for personal growth. It made such an impact on me that I've got several parts of the book memorized. I'm so excited to take some young leaders through this. It will be a great time of growth for us.
