The life of a large Church fellowship needs to be co-ordinated. We organise ourselves using seven co-ordinating teams and about twenty work groups. The co-ordinating teams cover finance, youth policy, ministry, overseas mission, outreach, and child protection. We also have a general purposes team which is responsible for the physical fabric of the building and for Health & Safety issues. The work groups cover everything from catering to communications.
Church members usually serve on teams like these for three years, before moving on to a new sphere of service.
Day to day co-ordination of church life is carried out by our full time support team. The team is managed by two salaried staff members, supported by a number of volunteers from the Church. The support team does more than administration: it mobilizes the development of new ministries and organizes all the technical, safety, and ministry training which our youth leaders require.
