Your worship ministry has a culture whether you realize it it or not. If you’re intentional about it, you can make sure that everyone’s on the same page and working together to accomplish the same goals. If you need a real-world example, Director of Production Ryan Howell shares how they intentionally define the culture at Watermark Community Church in Dallas, Texas. This video covers:
1. How Watermark uses a one-pager to communicate values to the production and worship teams
2. What it means to set the table for everyone on the team
3. How to come up with your own values to define your ministry’s culture
4. When the values you say and the actual values don’t line up
5. How often to reinforce the values of your culture
The “Four C’s” mentioned at Watermark Community Church are:
• Create - be creative to the end-goal no matter which side of the microphone you’re on
• Collaborate - assume I don’t have all the information
• Cultivate - skills and our spiritual health
• Circulate - what we do on Sunday live far past the service itself
The rest of their worship/production values are stated this way:
• One team mentality - we care for each other
• Host, not guest - we engage the people we’re with
• Monday conversations - resolving conflict and offering feedback
• Flexible, not frustrated - adaptability is a high need
• Saying no - be solution orientated when saying no
