The Design Team Members
Covenant for Service: 6 months
The Design Teams work together to create our weekly liturgy. Under the direction of the Map, this plan and the general direction given by the pastors and their gathered teams, they lead our weekly meetings. They are crucial leaders of our public wing. Like other Circle of Hope teams, design teams grow and multiply or they lose steam and die a natural death.
How they relate in the congregations and the Network:
- The Pastors and designated PM Coordinators nurture their health and give direction.
- When possible, local teams are lead by a Design Team Coordinator
- The Pastors/Design Team Coordinators form a team that oversees network resources and Network team gatherings.
The Design Team leader, in league with the PM Coordinator or other designated leaders has the freedom to construct a team in consultation with the pastors. There are no prerequisites for participation on a team.
The requirements are:
- willingness to follow the team leader(s).
- loving and patient attitude with a complex process and diverse team.
- cooperation within the vision of the church,
- adherence to any agreements and schedules of the team
- openness to the following ideals for being a PM Team.
- Communicate: attend regular meetings, read e-mail and publications, speak up with what one can contribute to the team's knowledge and ability.

- Maintain unity: agree not to promulgate or practice what is contrary to the teaching of our church, agree to have healthy conflicts with members of the leadership team directly, agree not to abuse the general openness and freedom in which we operate but to openly promote and demonstrate our deliberate attempts to live in a trust system.
- Call the Team Leader if one can't be at a meeting or rehearsal and find your own replacement unless told otherwise.
- Agree to surrender their role if requested to do so by the Team Leader or Pastor.
