Serving on the Shore

For the last two years CCC has been using the Preaching Team model for creating messages. Now I can’t imagine doing it any other way. I have attached a couple of documents that lay out our plan and our process. Hope these are helpful. A few benefits we’ve experienced are…

1. We get a better message in less time.

• Everyone brings different insights, angles, illustrations that can be used to communicate God’s message. When I sit down to put the message into final form, I’m never starting from scratch. It is a good thing. Always better with more input and insight.

2. We are able to access a broader range of Scripture.

• Every week someone brings up a relevant and important passage I would never have thought of on my own.

3. We are faced with how different groups of people will hear the message.

• More people in the process reminds us of how different people in our congregation will hear the message.

4. We allow our creative arts people have more time to be “creative.”

• Our worship folks are able to plan, with an message outline, for six weeks. It allows them time to think, plan and explore how to best reinforce the message.

Any other potential benefits you’d include?
