What makes for a smooth operating team in ministry? The thesis of this book is that the church staff must model for the church how a good team is to function. Author Harold Westing suggests that God wants the church to function as a team and who better to show the way than the professionals called to serve the church. Throughout the book, examples of good and poor teamwork are illustrated with references to the Bible. Many of the exercises found here can be applied to existing teams or newly formed ones to strengthen their relationships. Clergy and lay members of multi-staff teams and congregational and judicatory leaders will find this book helpful in enriching the spirit of teamwork in the church.
