Building an Arts Team from the Ground Up #wcawonder

Building an Arts Team from the Ground Up
make sure that constant prayer is part of your arts teams.
1. build trust into your team.

  • doesn't just happen. you have to work at it.
  • let them know that you will work along with them sometimes.
  • delegate to and empower your people
  • you have to trust others with your "baby"
2. build respect in your people
  • work hard for them - no one respects someone who is lazy
  • take risks - people will criticize you at the beginning of risk but will respect you on the other side.
  • be honest with each other in love even when it may hurt  your relationship.
  • risk things that you may fail at.
3. build vision in your people.
  • repeat it until they are tired of it
  • aim everything you do with your vision
4. Make sure everything points to the great commission

road blocks to building a great team
  • negative comments (volume, style, lighting
    • don't consider anonymous comments
    • don't always give your church what they want. it's our job to know what they want/need more than they do
    • don't turn down the music for individuals
    • usually the people that have been in the church the longest have the biggest opinions and know the least about contemporary art forms (how often have they seen bands/dramas outside of the church? that determines how much you listen to their advice.
    • keep your personality. you can't be great at many things. you will be average if you try to cater to all styles.
