It’s not a pickup basketball game at the park but it is 3 of the Lead Staff members at Elevation Church and their takes on why you should attend the THR3E Event.
Chunks Corbett-Practical Resources
We’ve designed the THR3E Event to resource church leaders. The event will focus on the toughest leadership decisions we’ve made in our first 3 years but we also wanted to give everyone something practical as a takeaway. THR3E is our opportunity to resource attendees with every organizational document we’ve come up with in the last 3 years–I mean everything.
We will be giving everyone electronic copies of our bylaws, employee handbook, all of our HR forms, all policies and procedures, vendor lists, job descriptions, org charts, chart of accounts, sample budget forms, staff reading lists, our creative department workflow charts, and all the operational documents we use. Basically, we’re providing everything I wish I could flash back and give myself 3 years ago.
Wade Joye-Calling Out Potential
One of the things I love about serving on the lead staff at Elevation is getting an up-close look at the way Pastor Steven calls out potential in those that he leads. In the almost 18 months I’ve been on staff at Elevation, Pastor Steven has continually challenged me personally to step up in my leadership. Up until December of 2008, I served as the Worship Pastor, but Pastor Steven recently saw something in me that I didn’t see and moved me to the role of Service Programming Director. The larger role and added responsibility was out of my comfort zone and I doubted myself. Since then, I have seen the Lord grow me so much as I have embraced this new challenge and leadership role.
The reason I am really excited about THR3E is that this will be a chance for people to not just get a taste of what we get in our lead team meetings, but rather an intense, full day of Pastor pouring out all that he has learned in the three years of leading this church. He will use this day to truly call out your potential. You will learn a lot of useful information, but you will also walk away with a bigger sense of who God is and what He can accomplish through your life.
Larry Hubatka-What We’ve Learned
Wanna know what it feels likes to learn things the hard way? Then you should skip this event and do everything on your own. If you want to get on our shoulders, take everything we’ve learned and take it further, then you should make plans to spend the day with us for the THR3E Event in April.
We don’t know everything, but we know enough to tell what we’ve learned along the way. And if that helps you, there’s no charge…well, except for the 300 bucks you have to pay. But other than that, really, no charge.
