1. To infuse a vision of a worship lifestyle into all those who attend. I am truly thankful for the privilege to lead a lifestyle of worship to the God of the Universe.
2. To show by example how to operate as a team and still be leaders individually. Make it your goal to minister to the Father, to your Senior Pastor, to your Music Minister, and to the church body during every service, especially those services you are assigned to work. Recognize that there is a corporate anointing that takes place when we enter into his presence with thanksgiving, and that this corporate anointing is far more powerful than we might experience alone. So don't tamper with it; instead, seek to enhance it.
3. To find ways to stir up and build up your fellow team members. Bind intimidation (2 Tim 1:6,7) Find ways that you can minister to them and stir up their God-given talents. Think twice before you speak. Be available. Don't overemphasize skill, but rather total dependence on the Lord.
4. To pursue God's best through technical excellence in everything we do. Strive to honor Him through a "whatever it takes" work ethic. (I Cor. 9:24-27) Recognize that God isn't looking for perfection, but excellence. Realize that we can minister to Him and others through a mutual desire to seek God's best.
5. Through the combination of these points, that we would continue to build and strengthen a ministry of people who care for and pray for one another. That we would go out of our way to spend time getting to know one another. That we would actually follow through with our promise of "I'll pray for you." That we wouldn't be afraid to be vulnerable in expressing our prayer needs in confidence. That we would help each other grow in an understanding that our significance on this planet is found only in God, not in ourselves or our performance; not even our performance on stage.
Once you have written and adopted your own statement of purpose, print it on a large sheet of paper, have everyone on the Tech Team sign it, and post it for all to see so that it can be looked back upon when needed. Without such a reminder we can lose focus on what we do and why we do it.
It is the skills that God has given us that allow us to do what we do. It is the statement of purpose that keeps us focused on how and why we do it. I would encourage all Tech Teams consider the adoption of such a document, review it regularly, and keep it at the center of their ministry.
