We think it’s safe to say that Campus Crusade for Christ’s weekly meeting are the most consistent public face-time any Crusade movement has. But a lot of students sit on pins and needles every week just waiting for that week’s blunder: a worship leader who freely shares opinions on doctrine, an emcee who talks about her diarrhea (it’s happened), a testimony that goes wrong, or a worship team that thinks it’s all about them.
At Keynote, we want to equip weekly-meeting leadership teams to plan, pray, and prepare well. As we travel to teach weekly-meeting teams and staff coaches, we’ll discuss some basic teaching principles to help give direction and foundation for planning well.
Please email us and let us know if you’d like to discuss how these principles could increase the effectiveness of your weekly meetings and the development of your team.
Here are a few comments from students and staff who have been through this training:
“I thought you would give us just a bunch of programming structure, but instead you taught us how to worship better."
- Aaron, sophomore, North Dakota State University
“I thought the time was great. I was so happy that she had activities for us in order to help us evaluate. [We evaluated] our priorities in what Cru really is and where our hearts need to be in planning the weekly event and who we are as individuals (individuals who make up one cohesive team. [It also] helped us plan topics for the whole semester [or] one given night. So helpful. I really liked that she was incorporating everything too: tech, band, programming, etc.
I really liked hearing Vicki break down how our hour is 60 one-minute segments and [that] we need to plan it appropriately to enable the Spirit to work in our audiences' hearts significantly for those 60 segments. This made so much sense when she talk[ed] about announcements and how we should figure out a different method of delivering them due to how disruptive they really are [in] creating a specific dynamic for an evening.”
- Amy, junior, UND
“Thank you for helping us find a vision and taking us to a new level and helping us reach our potential for the Lord.”
