WHAT'S A PRODUCTION TEAM?
The Production Team is a group of individuals who come together to create a worshipful weekend service at Real Life Ministries. We believe that all sons and daughters of Christ are heirs of His gifting through the Holy Spirit. Although we are comprised of individuals, our goal is to operate and function as a team. With this gifting through the Holy Spirit, we aim to unify the body of Christ in order to glorify the Father by utilizing those gifts with our hands. We come together, with our different giftings, and offer our time as a service to those who attend the weekend service. As Ephesians 4:11-12 (NIV) states, “So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors, and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up”. We work hard to intentionally design, organize, and present our weekend service to the body of Christ, so that it may be edified.
Who Are We Looking For?
We are looking for, striving to be, and hope to raise up servants who are high in character and competency. We see both as necessary to accomplish what God is calling us to. We acknowledge that…
- Someone who is low in character and competency is not currently ready to serve in this ministry.
- Someone who is high in character, but low in competency is limited in what God can do through them.
- Someone who is high in competency, but low in character is unlimited in the harm he/she can do operating in the flesh.
- Someone who is high in character and competency is ready for the good work that God will accomplish through them.
We are all a work in progress, and none of us (staff included) are above coaching/feedback. We place a high value on being humble when accepting feedback. Furthermore, we want to be those who proactively seek out constructive coaching. By living this out, we can continue striving to be those high in character and competency.
It's important to note that when feedback is given, we expect everyone to listen attentively, without making excuses, and to strive to understand and grow. We should be mindful of how our feedback might be received by others, while also managing our own emotions. Active listening and making necessary adjustments for the benefit of the whole are key in this process.
Lastly, when we give feedback, it is always out of a desire to see others win. We want to celebrate the good and highlight blind spot areas with room for improvement by presenting alternative solutions. We will be kind, but clear. If we take offense by something said, we will commit to being a team that works it out Biblically so that we don't leave room for the enemy to muddle in and confuse our communication. We will always assume the best and trust that we have each other's back as a team. We want to strive to excel individually and collectively so that the church is edified and built up in the manner described in the Scriptures (
see 1 Corinthians 12-14).
WHAT ARE THE MINIMUM COMPETENCIES IN THIS MINISTRY?
We understand many people do not have access to production equipment like lighting boards or audio consoles. We believe that our purpose is to equip the saints for the work God has called them to (Ephesians 4:12). If God is stirring your heart towards production, we will work with you to develop those skills. This requires more time investment from you on the front end and flexibility to be available for rehearsals and coaching.
The biggest competencies we are looking for are:
Faithfulness: Following through on commitments to serve.
Availability: In order to grow in skill, you will need time outside of service for training.
Teachability: Past experience is always a bonus, but humility to learn new practices is even more important.
