TEAM MEMBER TRAINING
Competency: To show respect, deference, and Christ-like love to leaders, peers, and those we serve.
Why This Matters: A culture of honor is the immune system of a healthy church. It protects against gossip, division, and pride. When we choose to honor others, we actively demonstrate the Gospel, which tells us God honored us with His love when we were at our worst.
Why can it sometimes be difficult to show honor to people we disagree with or who have a different way of doing things?
Read: Romans 12:10 and Hebrews 13:17
Romans 12:10 says to 'honor one another above yourselves.' What does that look like on a Sunday morning with your fellow team members?
Hebrews 13:17 speaks of making a leader's work a 'joy.' What is one practical way you can make your team leader's job more of a joy?
Honor is the practice of treating people according to the high value that God has placed on them. It is a decision we make before a feeling we have. In our church, this culture is expressed in three directions.
Honoring Up: We choose to respect and submit to our leaders. This doesn't mean we always agree, but it does mean we trust their hearts and communicate our disagreements privately and respectfully. We protect their reputation and make their work a joy.
Honoring Around: We treat our fellow team members as more important than ourselves. We refuse to gossip, we assume the best, and we celebrate their successes.
Honoring Down: We honor every person we serve, especially guests. We see them as individuals made in God's image and treat them with the kindness and respect worthy of that truth.
'Honoring Up' means respecting leadership. What does that look like when you disagree with a decision or a new direction?
'Honoring Down/Around' means respecting peers and those you serve. How can you show honor to someone visiting Currey Creek for the very first time through your specific role?
What past experiences or personal tendencies might make it difficult for you to fully trust and honor leaders?
