All Access- Teams & Structure

From time to time, some of the questions that I get asked are, “How are things structured around Access and the Family Ministry? What teams do you have?”

We are all about small groups at Access. We believe that sustained, long-term life change happens best in community and relationships. Everything, starting with babies, at Access is structured around small groups.

Waumba Land (0-4 years old) is not just a nursery, but a specifically designed small group environment to give children a lasting first impression of their Heavenly Father. UpStreeet (k-5th grade) for all of the amazing worship, crazy antics of our hilarious hosts, and relevant videos and storytelling, is all about setting up small groups of children with their leaders to help those children learn how to trust Jesus in all aspects of life.

Teams in Waumba are designed so that each small group at each hour has a leader and co-leader. They work together under the leadership of their Coach. UpStreet small groups are designed much the same way. UpStreet also has a production team of singers, actors, producers, directors, and a technical team. We also have a Leadership Room team to care for leaders’ kids as leaders prepare and serve on Sunday mornings. Lastly, we have a Host Team to greet and welcome guests and visitors. Total, Family Ministry needs about 50 people at this stage in the life of our church to run smoothly. Throw in Student Ministry and we have about 60-65 leaders.

If you’re looking for a place to jump in and serve at Access, we’d love to talk to about whether Family Ministry might be the spot for you. If you’re leading in another church, I’d love to hear about how you structure teams, especially if you do multiple services in a portable environment.
