Covenant & Accountability Structure

I am linking you to three documents here:

(By the way, if you have not read Josh's entry, "Learning Jesus" yet, read that first.)

1 - Team Member Covenant - much less detailed and demanding than previously, but still quite challenging.

2 - Overseer Covenant - what was previously called the Team Member Covenant. Recent criticisms have not caused me to pitch this document, but rather to apply it to a higher level of leadership. Although scoring yourself would be optional, setting goals and establishing accountability would be required.

3 - Accountability Structure - This is the latest version of what I was previously calling the "Advancement & Reporting Structure." This explains my most recent thinking about how to set up The Core as an organization. Please bear with me if this looks like Church Politics to you. I hear ya loud and clear. But I have no doubt that we need to be well organized if we are going to be efficient communicators, and if each person is going to be clear as to their role and how they fit into the grand scheme. Without this kind of advanced planning, chaos, disillusionment and failure is always lurking around the corner. A well thought-out structure is rarely to blame for bad church politics... it's usually the result of valuing control and power over servanthood. Be sure to read page 2 for the descriptions.
