Summary

• Vision Alignment: Ministry department leaders must align their department’s vision with the broader church vision to avoid “sideways energy” and foster “synergy.”
• From Vision to Application: You apply the church’s overarching vision directly to your department’s context—e.g., transforming youth or welcoming newcomers with gospel love.
• Synergy Illustration: Like two bulls pulling more than the sum of their strength, ministries aligned to the same vision produce exponential gospel impact (Timestamp [128]).
• Whole Church Momentum: Unified departments—kids, music, small groups, etc.—create a healthy, flourishing church environment.
• Communicate Clearly: Leaders should articulate how their department supports the vision and pass that clarity to team leaders and members.
• Guard Against Self-Agenda: Leaders must repent of personal ambition and prioritize God’s purposes in their role.
