Like any great sports team, business or family, teamwork is essential. FCA is no different. While we all serve together as one board, each member brings an expertise and skill set that can be utilized greatly for Kingdom impact in board service.
We like to keep things simple. We encourage our boards to align their teams around the advancement lanes, which help to organize our staff’s priorities for the ministry. More specificity can always be added within each Advancement Team, but at baseline, it is essential to have board representation in every area of focus for our staff.
Because each staff member has goals that align with these lanes, board members can seamlessly jump into specific support and service of a ministry area that is mission critical. This helps connect board members to the work of the ministry in a powerful way which leads to greater fulfillment.
The specific activity of these teams can be fluid and adjustable based on the needs of the ministry area. The board teams are designed to help organize the board around the ministry plan goals and advancement lanes. With newer leadership boards, the team structure may be smaller or specifically defined by the goals that our staff person may have.
