1. Creating a Successful Service in Your Community LOVIN LIFE LEARNING CENTER 4 West 43rd Street New York NY 10036 MAY 23 2010 What s in this manual This manual is focused on the Inspire component of Church which is Sunday Service These two hours contain elements that when put together and done effectively can create a highly inspirational service that ultimately prepares each guest in the audience to receive our National Pastor s message CONTENTS WHAT S IN THIS MANUAL 3 GET READY TO LOVE LIFE 5 GENERAL CRITERIA 8 GUEST SERVICES TEAM PRODUCTION 22 TECH TEAM 35 CREATIVE TEAM 44 EMPOWER 48 CONNECT 49 CONTRIBUTE 5 Get ready to LOVE LIFE Lovin Life Ministries has four ways of creating a ministry that allows every individual to grow in their faith each and every week These areas are INSPIRE EMPOWER CONNECT CONTRIBUTE Lovin Life Ministries understands that everyone is on a journey and has a unique experience That is why Rev In Jin Moon has developed a service and a ministry that offers every person an opportunity to grow no matter where they are The growth process begins with Inspire This is Sunday Service It is the first step to becoming a part of the church family It is a time to receive and to be spiritually nourished The service experience itself is about two hours long on Sunday but Church actually happens each and every day all th2. Although Lovin Life at the Manhattan Center may be much larger than in your location your Sunday Service can express the same heart and touch people s lives in much the same way The guest s experience is rooted in God s love conveyed through Rev In Jin Moon s message and the personal care and love expressed by our members By striving for a quality production even the smallest community can experience a Sunday Service that is as moving and dynamic as Lovin Life at the Manhattan Center And by doing so small communities will grow and become large communities Satellite Church Service Manual GENERAL CRITERIA What are the qualities of a successful Sunday Service Every action tells a story So much of who we are and what we value is expressed through the Sunday Service We need to make sure that the right values are shining through Does your Sunday Service mirror our value of professionalism or does it show disorganization Is the atmosphere we are creating encouraging are we using positive words Most importantly is the environment inclusive Could you bring a friend and they would feel like they belong Create a conversation with your ministry team and identify the qualities of a successful Sunday Service and discuss where you see those qualities and values expressed IN Welcoming environment Professionalism Authenticity Team effort Inclusive atmosphere Seeker sensitive Encouraging United vision
