When Jeff joined the church as the first Executive Pastor in 2018, he found a growing church with a small church mentality. He was given leadership of a staff accustomed to doing every detail of ministry work themselves. Jeff knew that if Dallas Bible Church was to continue to grow and scale, they needed to redefine roles and responsibilities.
Instituting a major shift in perspective and culture was going to require Jeff to be able to clearly and concisely articulate his vision. And the best method of delivering this information was an all-staff meeting.
A meeting helps every individual understand how their work can meaningfully contribute to the group’s success.
“No one is good at leading meetings. I’ve worked in the corporate America marketplace, Fortune 500 companies. I’ve worked for start-up companies, mega-churches, fast-growing churches, traditional [churches]. I’ve yet to find anyone who is a master at leading meetings right.” - Jeff Mousa, Dallas Bible Church
As Jeff began preparing to meet with the staff and introduce the changes that needed to be made, he was looking for a platform that would make meetings easier. At the time, Dallas Bible Church was using 19 different platforms for communication and data. These various streams of information were impossible to track, so Jeff began the search for a better tool where the team could collaborate seamlessly. He had been part of Leadr’s beta program and had liked several of the features.
The ability to prep for a meeting, develop action items, and request feedback all in one place was appealing and met Jeff’s need to simplify systems. Being able to see all meeting information, from departmental meetings to one-on-ones, helped Jeff to keep a finger on the pulse of Dallas Bible Church during a critical transition time.
“[Leadr is] the first platform, in my experience, I’ve ever put in front of a church staff that was immediately welcomed, received, and easily integrated.” - Jeff Mousa, Dallas Bible Church
Leadr streamlines communication and meeting management
Jeff introduced Leadr to the staff in stages. They started with just the meetings tool, then integrated the personalized goals and feedback. The staff at Dallas Bible Church took to the change and within 30 days, everyone was using it. They appreciated the ability to log in and see meeting notes for meetings that they had been unable to attend and to have a record of action items, goals, and feedback.
In addition to meeting management, using Leadr gave the staff at Dallas Bible Church the flexibility to work remotely at locations that were convenient for them without missing a beat and equipped them to develop leaders from the volunteers in their ministries - all in one platform.
If you’re looking for a tool that helps you develop and care for every member of your team, unite hybrid teams, and simplify meetings within one simple, intuitive place, we’d love to show you how Leadr does just that. Request a demo with our team today.
