In this episode, referencing the Connect Team Handbook (GraceChurchSC.org/ConnectTeamHandbook), host Chris Rivers interviews Will Fallaw from the Travelers Rest campus of Grace Church. Throughout the podcast, Will strives to unpack the processes within Connect Team that allow each member to use their role as a volunteer to further opportunities for discipleship, which is the mission of the church. Will emphasizes the importance of creating a process as a connect team to help pull the church body into discipleship. He warns that without it, our natural tendency is to become too invested in connecting within a team and neglect the mission of the team itself, which is to help connect the body of the church to each other. Without a great process to eliminate distraction, this ministry can be chaotic and unfruitful. Chris and Will discuss three big ways to welcome members and guests, including tips for embracing the potential awkwardness and staying mission-minded through practical strategy and intentional communication.
