“But God has put the body together, giving greater honor to the parts that lacked it, so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.” - 1 Corinthians 12:24-26
Each of us has a role to play in the Kingdom and on our team. We are better together and could not produce service at the level of excellence that we do without recognizing the importance of each position. Each role, from directors to operators, contributes to the creation of spaces that elevate the message of who God is. Because of the effort we put into executing services, people get to experience the transformational power of God’s love through a creative experience.
When we all come into serving prepared, we are able to build distraction-free environments. We celebrate together in success and are there for each other in trial. Every week, we get to witness more people step into the freedom we have in Christ. What an honor it is that God chose us to build His kingdom together.
