Team Defined

Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines "team" as "a number of persons associated together in work or activity." The context of that term aptly defines the meaning of team at Community of Christ. At Community of Christ, there are a number of teams that can be formed. These teams include (but are not limited to):

• Project Teams - These teams are temporary endeavors (having a beginning and an end) to produce a unique or distinctive product or service.
• Support Service Teams - These teams provide on-going services that are pre-defined and pre-authorized to International Headquarters or the whole church.
• Process Teams - These teams develop the processes, staff, and resources for other project teams or support service teams to use.
• Strategic Teams - These teams seek to help the church achieve its goals by making recommendations and/or initiating other teams.
• Sub-teams - A Team Leader may decide to divide the team into smaller teams for easier management. These smaller teams are called "subteams" and do not need to be chartered or approved by the WMCT.

All of the above, with the exception of sub-teams, must be chartered by the WMCT.
