Nick Blevins Family Ministry Podcast: Children | Youth | Students | NextGen
Episode 145: Dan Doerksen on Structuring Your Team for Maximum Impact
In this episode, I talk with Dan Doerksen about team structure and aligning your Next Gen and family ministry teams. Dan talks about the different approaches leaders take to their teams, and what has happened on his team since he started taking a structural approach. We also have a conversation about how most church ministries and teams are built on age groups, and he walks through how he has re-structured based on function and gift sets.
