System Owner: 

PURPOSE:
We want everyone who attends theCrossroads services and events whether in-person or online to feel welcome and loved. We also want to encourage them to make a connection with us through our app/website or social media. The purpose of this system is to define how to best do both of these things at the same time, in as little time as possible during the service.

PROCEDURE:

1.  MEMBER REQUIREMENTS: 

• Love Jesus with all your heart, have been baptized in Jesus Name, and filled with the Holy Ghost.
• Love our Pastor and first Lady wholeheartedly.
• Love theCrossroads and be faithful to the church body.
• Be Positive when starting the service, have faith and believe that God is able and willing.
• All service leaders will agree to theCrossroads Leadership Honor Code as outlined here:( Leadership Honor Code ).

2. MEMBER RESPONSIBILITIES: 

• All members will have access to PCO.
• All members will receive PCO emails/notifications informing them of the service dates and times that they are scheduled for the upcoming month. (Members should learn how to make “block-out dates” in PCO in advance of any services they will not be available for.)
• All members will accept or decline scheduling requests, sent via PCO, at least one week prior to the date that they are scheduled to sing and/or play. 
• If a member must decline a scheduling request, that member should do so as soon as possible to allow appropriate time for the team leaders to find another appropriate leader to replace their position for the service that they have declined.   
• All leaders assigned to lead in services need to be familiar with what is happening in the service beforehand.
• All leaders are expected to have prayed before their time to lead and ready to minister when it is time to do so.

3. WORSHIP SERVICE RESPONSIBILITIES: 

• All leaders should be present on the platform and ready to go at the time specified by the Lead Pastor. 
• All leaders are expected to lead the congregation in praise and worship by example (as active participants during the song service, preaching, etc.).
• Please don't use this time to "sneak a preach" or go off on any tangent about something that is not relevant to the service.
• Please use this or a very similar format in your presentation:

(This greeting should be made with a huge smile and lots of energy if possible!!)
Opening Connection:
Welcome Everyone - We are so glad you are with us today, both in person and watching online. We are thrilled to have you as part of theCrossroads community! You matter to God, you matter to us - and we want you to feel welcome. During this service, we hope you will engage with the presence of God that you feel.

We would LOVE it if you would take a second to connect with us and share this service with someone. Did you know that you have access to fill-in notes, the Connection Card, Giving, social links, and so much more content for today’s service? Well, you do, without touching anything but your phone. It is as easy as pointing your smartphone camera at the QR code you see in front of you or clicking the link in the chat from social media.

If you haven't downloaded our free app yet, we highly recommend it! It is Easy, Interactive, and full of great content.

We are a lively church, so please don’t be a spectator today - join in and worship with us as we experience God together! If you are in service with us, clap, shout, sing, dance, and praise..If you are online, feel free to do the same, AND freely press the LIKE, LOVE and SHARE buttons - we are so glad you are here!

- PLEASE, feel free to be creative, but remember the PURPOSE is to help people connect during this time. we need to make the instructions to do so as SIMPLE as possible.
- If updates are needed because of changes or technology, please try to keep that in mind as well when speaking.

6. OTHER EXPECTATIONS:

• All service leaders are expected to participate in the rest of the services they help lead as a member of the congregation.
• All service leaders should be ready and willing to pray with and for people at the close of services.
• All service leaders are expected to attend the church’s weekly prayer meeting as well as any other scheduled services. 
• All service leaders will participate in pre-service “Tag-Ins” prior to worship services to review the service schedule and pray together, as directed by the Lead Pastor. 
• All service leaders are to follow theCrossroads’ Leadership Honor Code without exception.
