God designed the church to function as a unit … a body, a team (1 Cor. 12)<\/span> … which requires unity.<\/p>\n

Acrostic with Qualities Needed in Team Members<\/h2>\n

Following are four qualities that will help team members be more united. You will notice that it requires the removal of “self.”<\/p>\n

T<\/strong><\/span> – Trust<\/p>\n

All must learn to respect and accept one another regardless of opinions, personalities, or differences in gifting and abilities.<\/p>\n

E<\/strong><\/span> – Engaged<\/p>\n

All must eagerly do their part according to God’s design.<\/p>\n

A<\/strong><\/span> – Adaptable<\/p>\n

All must humbly accept what\u2019s best in order to accomplish God\u2019s purposes rather than push their own agendas or personal gain.<\/p>\n

M<\/strong><\/span> – Missional<\/p>\n

All must look at the big picture and strategically pursue God’s purposes.<\/p>\n

Note the word “all” under each of the above team qualities. \u00a0To truly be a unified team and reach optimal effectiveness, each member of the team must pursue these qualities.<\/p>\n

In the next post we will look at the team leader’s responsibility<\/a> to promote these kinds of qualities.<\/p>\n
