Building a Team for Mission

Resonate's Michigan and Ontario-based team.

At Resonate, we know that God uses teams for the work of mission. Jesus’ disciples were a mission team sent from Jerusalem to the ends of the earth.  Building a team with a mission-focused culture is one of Zach’s primary tasks.  This fall, Resonate gathered its Grand Rapids and Burlington-based staff at Camp Geneva to reflect on Resonate’s core postures: prayer, listening, serving, learning, mutual care and accountability and peace-making.  At Resonate, we saturate all we do in complete dependence on God.  We listen to God’s Spirit and Word to discern where God wants us to act.  We encourage local leaders, congregations and communities by following Jesus in taking the posture of a servant.  We continually seek to learn from each other and others rather than presuming we have all the answers.  We seek to build mutual care and accountability into all aspects of our organizational life as well as ministry relationships.  Finally, we model authentic relationships of trust and respect across barriers that divide people.  Please pray that God will help us build a strong culture of mission at Resonate.
