What It Takes to Be a Great Church Campus Leader

What it takes to be a GREAT Campus Leader

BIG IDEA: Campus Leaders have Hustle + Intensity about the Total Guest Experience

1. Hustle = Self-Led 

• CHASES Jesus on their own with passion
  
  
• INITIATIVE - Does not need constant motivation
  Jon would rather REIGN IN a STALLION
  than MOTIVATE a MULE!
  
  
• Secure as a Son of the House (Old Testament Idea)
  
  - Son of the House > Hired Hand
  - As the House spreads out, the Sons have to protect the UNITY of the House
  
  - Heart of an Heir; Understands their role in the House
  - What we can do TOGETHER is GREATER than what we can do APART!
  
  - A Son is not focused on their title or accolades.
  - A Son understands their inheritance is in the future.
  
  - A Son works HARDER because they are a Son, not a Hired Hand
  - Hired Hands wants a paycheck; Sons sacrifice for what’s best for the House.
  - Sons have the right HEART Attitude
  
  
• Campus Leaders are not trying to build their OWN thing because they are HEIRS to the WHOLE thing!

2. Hustle + Intensity = Able to Gather More People to the Cause

• Sons draw MORE people into the House; Employees draw people to themselves.
  
  
• Charisma -- You gotta be likeable + Plant yourself where the Guests are!
  
  
• Become Intensely Hyper about what Guests FEEL when they arrive.
  
• We want every Guest to feel like a million bucks!
  
  
• You must be the SPARK that inspires your teams to love + serve Guests!
  
  
• Law of the Lid = YOU are the Lid of your campus.  If you are only a 7, expect your volunteers to rise to 5’s or 6’s.  
  
  
• Humor Over Hammer -- Leverage a fun personality to connect with Guests and in High Touch during the weekdays.  People are attracted to fun-loving people!
  
  
• Make The Ask -- Many people are just waiting for YOU to DIRECTLY and CLEARLY ask them to join in!

3.  Hustle to Empower People

• You can have Control or Growth, but you can’t have BOTH.
  
  
• Give away ministry -- Ephesians 4:12: “Equip the Lifers for ministry!”
  
  
• It takes security to let go -- Success is having MORE volunteers on the team!
  
  
• Make sure your new team members FEEL equipped -- double-check/over-communicate training resources and that YOU are cheering for them!
  
  
• Empowered people have OWNERSHIP and are ALL IN!
  
  
• Empowered people meet new friends and develop relationships.  Every first-time guest wants to feel known, first by YOU and then by OTHERS.
  
  
• Guests need 7 new friends in 6 months in order to STAY at your campus.

4.  Reproduce Yourself

• You are a Paul, recruit a Timothy (Ready Now) and a Titus (Ready in 6 Months).
