Strange Things in Xenos
or Why Xenos will never be a model for other churches
29. Most ministry teams initiated by individuals, not staff - Churches today commonly operate ministry teams to accomplish specific tasks. These are usually organized and led by members of the church staff, but not at Xenos. Xenos had developed a unique process for people who want to initiate ministry teams. Using this system, anyone who wants to see a ministry started can approach the leadership for accreditation. Accreditation is not permission! We don't believe anyone needs our permission to start a ministry. Instead, accreditation is a statement of agreement that the ministry is credible, needed and a priority for the church at this time. Accredited ministry teams have privileges in the church including enhanced publicity helps, funding, facilities and access to staff.
Scores of teams have been accredited using this system. The teams
are assessed annually or biannually, and
may lose accreditation if conditions change. Nevertheless, teams that lose accreditation
still can carry out their ministry and reapply for accreditation again in the
future.
