Outreach Leadership Roles PDF Print E-mail
Team DiagramCrimson Bridge uses the outreach team structure recommended by King's Kids. Below is a synopsis of each role. Use the links on the left sidebar for full descriptions of each position. To help you visualize the team structure, see the outreach team council page.

There are five primary leadership roles:
  1. Tour Director
  2. Spiritual Life Advisor
  3. Family Life Coordinator
  4. Administrator
  5. Program Director or Project Supervisor or Coach

Note: The fifth role is dependant on the type of ministry vehicle that the team is using as its primary mode of expression, i.e., performing arts, H.A.N.D.S., or sports.

These five persons form the team's Leadership Council. Together they daily pray, plan, and set team direction. Whereas the council provides plurality of wisdom and knowledge, thus safety of counsel, the Tour Director, assisted by the Spiritual Advisor, are responsible for making the final decisions on team policy. It is, of course, hoped that the leadership council will be totally united in each of these decisions.

Tour Director
Maintains overall leadership, but he/she relies heavily on the other four primary leaders and their assistants to carry out much of the daily life functions of the team. See the full job description

Spiritual Life Advisor
Serves the Tour Director as a source of wise, prayer-backed council. See the full job description

Family Life Coordinator
In effect, the Family Life Coordinator is responsible under the supervision of the Tour Director for all those activities not connected with travel or ministry outside of family life factors. See the full job description

Administrator
The Administrator is directly responsible for the travel times. He/she manages all the finances of the team and the personal file of every team member. See the full job description

Program Director/Project Supervisor/Coach
The Program Director is in charge for the times of outreach. Hence, the upfront responsibility is passed from one leader to another in a public way insuring that the young people, children, and the rest of the staff know who is in charge when and where. See the full job description

The stress connected with leading this cross section of children and young people, for two weeks or more including late nights, various forms of travel, and a variety of settings and schedules, necessitates the adult staff having periods of rest or at least times of freedom from weighted responsibilities. Balancing these rest times from one primary leader to the next, requires a Tour Director who is mature and secure enough to delegate and support his or her assisting leaders speaking into situations personally when it seems necessary.

This type of plurality requires an unusual level of trust, love, unity, communication, and planning amongst the leaders. Not only does this kind of leadership produce efficiency and results, but also God does command a blessing: Psalm 133 – which flows down through the team promoting a very close, loving atmosphere for all participants.
