Ministry Teams

The Ministry Teams of CrossPoint Baptist Church serve the congregation and Pastoral Staff through faithful service and devotion to the overall ministry of CrossPoint Baptist Church.

CrossPoint Baptist Church has 2 types of Ministry Teams. Teams are considered either open or closed and these designations clarify both function and means of the teams.

Open teams are meant to designate a team as being open for volunteer sign ups for those who sense they are called and gifted to serve on a particular team. Each person that signs up for an open team must do so in November in order to serve the following 12 month year (January - December). Training for the teams will be held the first Sunday of each December and the team begins to serve January 1. Each open team will elect a chairman to serve as the leader/facilitator of the team.

Closed Ministry teams shall consist of five church members elected to serve by the church.  Elections will take place each year in November  with a 3-year term assigned.  Service will be staggered with one or two members rotating off each year to ensure continuity.  When a person rotates off of a particular ministry team, they cannot be re-elected to that particular team for at least one year.  They may still serve on other teams if so elected by the church body. Each closed team will elect a chairman to serve as the leader/facilitator of the team.
