The Team Member's Handbook

Whether you’re just starting out on a church team or you’ve been faithfully serving for years, The Team Member’s Handbook is your essential guide to being a more effective part of the team.

Dave Moore thoughtfully unpacks the biblical foundations for serving Jesus together, from Christ’s own model of serving others to practical teamwork strategies you can apply immediately.

With encouragement and challenges to your heart, habits, and prayers, you’ll consider your role in your small team and in Jesus’ big team. Through engaging personal stories and real-world examples, you’ll see how God gives us real joy and purpose in serving alongside others.

This is more than just a how-to manual; it’s a theological and practical resource that will help you serve Jesus with purpose and joy.
