Who’s in charge here was never a question we had to ask in the Marines. We knew who the leader was because we all wore insignia on our shoulder or lapel. It’s not the same in the church. Nor should it be. We are all leaders. We are all ministers called with a purpose. We all report directly to The King.
One of the greatest blessings from cmconnect has been the opportunity to meet some of the new faces in Children’s Ministry. People doing innovative things and at the center of some of God’s greatest challenges. For the next several weeks we’ll be featuring some of these leaders on our main page. Every one of them is balancing leadership in their church (as a paid staff member) and serving in a bigger area outside of their church. They are bloggers and tweeters, wooers and planters, pioneers and innovators.
I’m blessed to call them all my friends. I hope you will be encouraged by their stories as you get to know them.
