Last Wednesday I experienced my first All Staff meeting at Mountain. I knew going in that it was a long meeting and so I expected to be sitting through 2 hours of business - finances, structuring, sermon series...those types of things. I mean, this staff of 60+ people only all meet together once a month, there's a lot to catch up on.
But we didn't.
A good 80% or so of the meeting was community based. We were encouraged to sit with people we don't normally work with and we shared stories from our summers - not ministry related. About half of the time was spent introducing a new staff member and us interns.
And then, the floor was open for us to share "yay God" moments.
It was a time for everyone on staff to hear about the awesome things that God has been doing in our lives since we were last together. We were told that as time goes on, more and more of those will be ministry related.
And then of course, the last 20 minutes or so were business related.
It's so cool to be a part of a staff who puts staff relations and God moments over business but still gets a lot of great ministry accomplished.
Yay God for bringing me here!
yay God! and yay Mountain staff for setting the bar high and training you well...
