The team is responsible for the physical set up of the church each week. They are also responsible for setting up and running the sound equipment for the worship team and setting up and running the overhead/video projector. At the end of the service, we take it all down and put it away.
The goal of the logistics team is to be invisible. If everything is going perfectly, there are no members of the team running around trying to fix stuff right before (or during) one of Sunday’s services or events. They are the first people there on Sunday morning and the last to leave.
Logistics are composed of the setup and lockup teams and technical teams.
Primary Duties are:
- Setup : Transform the venue into a worship environment by setting up the equipments for the worship service each Sunday morning. These are the chairs, musical band instruments and other stage equipments. This ministry is a vital part of transforming the centre into a place of worship and celebration. This team is for early risers; we start setting up at 9:00am and lockup after the worship about 2.00 pm. This team is also a great way to connect with people and our church.
- Lockup: This team serves our church by putting everything back in “the box” each Sunday. They move fast to put back into storage all the equipment used including the Sunday school equipments. Housekeeping, such as sweeping, mopping and emptying trash is included in the tasks to make the building presentable and usable. This ministry is a vital part of transforming our place of worship back into the community centre arrangement.
The principal function of the coordinator is to be responsible for the equipments maintenance and safety, to facilitate a clean, safe, and orderly environment of all church facilities, conducting church materials and equipment review to determine any losses that might occur, what need to be replaced or items that need to be acquired and organizes working bee. He is also one of the last persons to check the building and locking up after service.
Asset management is an important function of managing equipment. The stewardship of materials and equipments, hardware and software programs require comprehensive inventory, maintenance and proper storage are crucial to the ministries of the church.
