Introduction

Welcome! This manual contains detail information governing the KFIC {Ministry Name} ministry team. This and all ministry teams of KFIC work to serve and support the Body of Christ for the advancement of the Kingdom of God.

Ministry Description

<<<EDITABLE AREA - Begin>>>

This should be the same ministry description that is on the KFIC website and ministry descriptions document.

Here is an example of the type of information that should be here:

The KFIC Audio-Visual ministry provides technology services to support the KFIC mission and vision at large and the objectives of the various KFIC ministries. The scope of this ministry includes researching products for purchase that meet ministry needs, installing and maintaining technology, providing training, and addressing any technology issues.

Replace all that is here with the Ministry Description for your ministry.

<<<EDITABLE AREA - End>>>

KFIC Mission, Vision, and Values

Mission

Winning souls to Christ, through the power and anointing of the Holy Spirit, one family at a time.

Vision

Kingdom Family International Church is an inter-denominational, multicultural fellowship of believers in Jesus Christ. We equip individuals to grow and mature through the power of the Holy Spirit into the image of Christ while balancing family life and Kingdom service.

Church Values

We Value God’s People

When we value God’s people, we value who they are as well as what they do. We recognize that each of us has a contribution to make in the Kingdom.

• Take time to develop Godly relationships with others, not cliques.

• Make others feel valued and respected.

• Value the diversity of talents, skills, and experience of others.

• Demonstrate an appreciation for balance between family life and kingdom service.

We function as “One” body – The Body of Christ

We believe that all people in the body of Christ are on the same team. We are not competing with one

another, but are linked as one body.

• Act for the benefit of KFIC and ultimately the body of Christ regardless of self-interest

• Promote unity amongst ministries

• Involve others in decisions and plans that affect them

• Support decisions made by KFIC in words and deeds

We Act with Honesty and Integrity

This is an essential element in the Church body.

• Act with integrity, honesty, and fairness

• Adhere to high ethical standards of conduct

• Take actions that are consistent with words

• Speak up constructively when you feel something is not right

• Trust and respect each other

We Act Accountably

When accountable, we focus on biblical solutions and actions, not our own.

• Accept personal responsibility for your actions

• Display a commitment to the Vision and Mission of KFIC

• Focus on finding solutions when faced with problems

• Lead an accountable ministry in word and deed

Ministry Team Mission and Purpose

Mission

<<<EDITABLE AREA - Begin>>>

Your team’s mission goes here.

Here is an example of the type of information that should be here:

The Kingdom Family International Church Praise and Worship Ministry is a team of gifted and anointed musicians and singers who are empowered to minister the Word of God through music and singing. As a united body, we will develop and assist Pastors in building people that are "Winning souls to Christ, through the power of the Holy Spirit…one Family at a time".

Replace all that is here with the Mission for your ministry.

<<<EDITABLE AREA - End>>>

Purpose

<<<EDITABLE AREA - Begin>>>

Your team’s purpose goes here.

Here is an example of the type of information that should be here:

The purpose of the Worship Ministry is to lead and facilitate the congregation in true worship of our Lord Jesus Christ through music and song, thus enabling and empowering them to receive the Word of God.

Our ultimate goal has two sides:

To bring glory and pleasure to God (Psalm 115:1; II Cor. 5:9)

To see the church strengthened and unified (I Cor. 14:26; Rom. 15:5-6)

Replace all that is here with the Purpose for your ministry.

<<<EDITABLE AREA - End>>>

Ministry Team Philosophy

<<<EDITABLE AREA - Begin>>>

This section is used to capture team philosophy…items that go beyond the mission and purpose but do not get into the “how to” details.

Here is an example of the type of information that goes here:

Our Understanding

We recognize that the Holy Spirit is the only one who can bring people to true worship of God (Phil. 3.3; John 4:23-24). Therefore, we, as a worship team, are committed to preparing ourselves spiritually, musically and/or dramatically. We continually pray that God’s Spirit will work in the hearts of everyone present at KFIC (KINGDOM FAMILY INTERNATIONAL CHURCH) to bring a powerful experience of God’s presence.

We also recognize that everyone in the congregation, including those up front, are participants in worship, and that God is the audience to receive the blessings and praises from His people. Therefore, our attitude is that of being servants, not performers, in the midst of leading God’s people in worship. We desire to worship God, as well as serving as examples to the congregation (I Peter 4:10; 5:2-3).

Replace all that is here with any Philosophy information for your ministry.

<<<EDITABLE AREA - End>>>

Policies and Procedures

All policies and procedures are established to enable each Worship Ministry member to work and minister more efficiently and with unification. Your feedback will help ensure we continue to drive toward that goal. All feedback will be reviewed, evaluated, and decided on by the KFIC leadership structure, including Ministry Leader(s), Ministry Director, Executive Team, and Senior Pastor.

Special Events

There are events the church may schedule which fall outside the days/times of the routine scheduled events such as Midweek Gathering and Sunday service, or some other event listed under Routine events above. You will be notified of these events in advance. If scheduled to serve, it is your responsibility to let your ministry leader know in advance if you will be unavailable to serve for the Special Event.

Church Rentals

The church facility is sometimes rented out to church members or third parties. Your availability for providing a service is totally optional and done on a volunteer basis. There may or may not be compensation for these events. If you agree to serve for a church rental event be sure to honor your commitment.

The Ministry Leader will select the team members who will work the events. Fundamentally the selection criteria will be based on those who have displayed solid application of this manual. This is not 1099 or similar employment so you will be responsible to manage your own income taxes as none will be withheld.

Trainings/Meetings

As a ministry team, there may be times additional training or meetings are needed. You are required to attend and are responsible for the information being disseminated.

Note: It is the responsibility of each Ministry member to inform his/her leader, in advance via the designated channels, if he/she will be absent.

Other Schedule Requirements

In addition to the items above regarding the Team Schedule, please be advised regarding the following.

<<<EDITABLE AREA – Begin>>>

This section is in place to cover additional information that does not neatly fit above. If there are no other schedule requirements you would simply replace what’s here with this statement: There are no other schedule requirements.

<<<EDITABLE AREA - End>>>

Becoming a Member of the Ministry Team

The process for becoming a member of the ministry team is as follows:

Requirements listed in this manual must be met by the individual desiring to be a member of the team.

Met requirements must be verified and exceptions must be documented by the ministry leader.

An Orientation, based on this manual, must be completed by the individual desiring to be a member of the team.

Training

Training is made available to help team members successfully execute their ministry team duties. Training begins with an Orientation session and is followed by hands-on training. Remedial and on-going training is also made available upon request and as the need is observed.

The training schedule includes the following:

New Team Member Orientation

Introduction hands-on training (discussion)

Transitioning from being a Member of the Ministry Team

There are 2 ways membership with a ministry team ends:

The team member ends his/her membership,

KFIC leadership ends the member’s membership.

Membership ending due to Member

There may be situations where a member desires to end their membership with the ministry team.

In these situations, the team member must:

Provide a legibly written notification, 2 weeks in advance that includes why they are leaving and the last date of service;

Meet with the Ministry Leader(s) and Ministry Director to provide feedback about areas where they’ve noticed improvements can be made.

In these same situations, the Ministry Leader must:

Communicate the membership change to leadership structure (Ministry Director);

Communicate the membership change to the Administrative Pastor (so systems can be updated, other ministry leaders can be notified, technology, facilities, etc. can be notified);

Communicate the membership change with the ministry team.

Membership ending due to KFIC Leadership

If the KFIC ministry team leadership determines a member’s membership with the team needs to end, the KFIC ministry team leader must:

Attempt to meet with the team member;

Communicate the membership change to leadership structure;

Communicate the membership change to the Administrative Pastor;

Communicate the membership change with the team.

Personal Presentation

As members of the ministry team one of our goals should be to promote the good things of God and avoid or minimize those things which distract from such. To that end, please be advised of the following:

Dress Code No inappropriately tight/form fitting clothing. No low-cut shirts or blouses. No short skirts, dresses, or shorts. Proper undergarments must be worn. Activity appropriate attire should be worn.	Hygiene Code Clean bodies. Fresh breath. Clean clothing.

These guidelines are not "thus saith the Lord" but are in keeping rank with good scriptural testimony and strong community building.

Attitude Code

These are certain attitudes and behaviors that are not profitable to one’s self or the body. Let’s be mindful to refrain from these things and instead embrace their positive counterparts:

An unteachable spirit (Proverbs 3:11, 15:22, 19:20)

Disrespect for others (Proverbs 4:20)

Non-submissive spirit (Hebrews 13:17)

Despising of spiritual gifts and the Word (Proverbs 13:13)

Envy, strife, a haughty spirit, hatred (I Corinthians 3: 1 - 4)

False witness (Proverbs 12:17,19)

Laziness (Proverbs 13:4, 19:15, 26:13-15)

Pride (Proverbs 13:1, 29:23)

Unforgiveness (Proverbs 18:19)

Gossip (Proverbs 17:9, 18:8, 13, 26:20)

Favoritism (Proverbs 19:6)

Fraud and dishonesty (Proverbs 28:13, 23)

Impatience (Proverbs 29:20)

Respecter of persons (Acts 10:34)

Conduct Code

As servants of the Lord, ministry members are expected to maintain a proper lifestyle of strong Christian character. Ministry members are expected to walk free from areas of bondage and all KFIC policies, to include the Sexual Harassment & Sexual Misconduct policy.

Ministry members engaged in any disruptive behaviors can be removed from the ministry until such a time as corrected behavior has been demonstrated.

We appreciate your obedience to the Spirit of God and for your desire to minister on this ministry team. We stand with you to see God's abundant blessings established in all areas of your life.

Service Decorum

<<<EDITABLE AREA - Begin>>>

This section is used to capture any additional items not captured by the Codes above.

Here is an example of the type of information that goes here:

Platform Ministry causes you to be exposed to everyone in attendance and, sometimes, the television camera. Our individual appearance and attitude while ministering can directly affect the release of the anointing in the congregation during a service.

Platform Ministry is a time of corporate ministry, not individual ministry. Those in worship ministry are expected to flow as a unit.

Therefore, all members must adhere to the following at all times on the platform:

Always follow the Worship Leader – even if he/she misses it.

Stay in unity with the musical and spiritual flow set by the Worship Leader or Pastor.

Rejoice during times of rejoicing

Minister quietly and worshipfully during time of worship

Dancing on the platform should be done only where there is a corporate release for dancing.

No gum chewing or extemporaneous talking while on the platform.

SMILE

Stay involved and actively participate during times of ministry by the Pastor by praying in tongues and interceding in the spirit.

Replace all that is here with any pertinent code information for your ministry.

<<<EDITABLE AREA - End>>>

Communication

A commitment to communication is a must for maintaining a healthy and productive team. Please observe the following.

Greet your team members when on or off duty.

Be a person of your word, if you say you are going to do something, do it.

Speak up when you see areas that need improvement and offer potential solutions.

Be willing to help, but ask if help is needed before engaging.

If you are under 21, address those 21 or older as Mr, Mrs, Ms; if over 21 address those 21 or older as Brother or Sister – unless a familiar rapport is established.

If you know in advance you will need to miss a scheduled duty, contact a member of the team and ask them to fill in for you. If they agree, contact the Ministry Leader letting them know who will be filling in for you and when.

Notify the Ministry Leader when supplies are low.

Be responsive…acknowledge and/or respond to texts/emails/calls from Ministry Leader and other Team Members.

Don't be easily offended; be willing to receive correction and direction.

If you have questions, think about an answer first, then ask the question if it still exists.

When on duty, let the Ministry Leader (or another team member, if the Ministry Leader isn't around) know when you are stepping away (i.e. to go to the restroom, etc.).

Ask questions. Do not assume!!! If you don't know...don't snow (don’t cover it up).

Please also observe these team communication standards:

EDITABLE AREA – Begin >>>

Communication standards within the team:

Leader preferences - how the leader wants to be communicated to (i.e. days, times, method).

Information sharing amongst the team.

Collaboration - establish communication considerations with other ministry teams.

<<<EDITABLE AREA – End

Feedback

This ministry is a team and therefore the input of all members is considered helpful and vehemently encouraged. If you have any suggestions or comments on how we can do a better job of serving our Lord, please submit them to the Ministry Leader. As you bring any issues/challenges forward, be sure to include well thought out potential solutions.

Inter-team Agreements

This ministry is only one of the many ministries that efforts to support the mission and vision of the KFIC ministry at large. We ultimately strive to function as one big team. We have agreements in place between our ministry teams and other ministry teams as follows.

<<<EDITABLE AREA - Begin>>>

This section is used to capture any agreements your ministry team has with other ministry teams.

Here is an example of the type of information that goes here:

AV Team

Equipment

All set up for any AV equipment will be handled by the AV Ministry.

Projecting songs

The AV Team projects the words to songs for the benefit of the congregation. If we need the AV Team to project words for our benefit (i.e. to help with very wordy songs) we must make the request with them on a per song basis at rehearsal.

Replace all that is here with any pertinent code information for your ministry.

If there are no agreements with other ministry teams, please put the following after the paragraph: There are currently no agreements with other ministry teams.

<<<EDITABLE AREA - End>>>

Each position plays an important part in the total success of the ministry team. The following includes the Leadership structure, Roles, and Responsibilities of the ministry team.
