Contact your Crew Coach ASAP. Don't try to solve these things alone. As always, follow up with the individual. We want them toknow that they are not on this journey alone. If emergency, contact 911.

A parking option (lot, street parking, etc.), an indoor alternative if you select an outdoor space and it rains, make sure the location is a place that can accommodate a large group. Also, consider the noise level. Finally, the goal is to partner with the location that you have Crew. Go in, introduce yourself and let them you that you plan to meet at their location two times a month.

Start by giving them a little responsibility and see what they do with it. Most times, people who attend your crew are waiting for an opportunity to be involved & lead. Delegate different parts of the night and continue to give them more responsibility. Examples are: ice breaker, scripture, main idea, discussion point one and question one, discussion point two and question two, summary, call to action, prayer & praise.

We want to do our best to ensure that we aren't changing locations in the middle of the SZN, however things come up that are beyond our control. If your location closes down mid season, talk to your Crew Coach right away and work with them to find a solution for the remainder of the SZN.

We won't have answers to every question, whether life questions or Bible questions, that we're asked but what we can always do is encourage people in what they're going through. Crew Coaches are also a great resource that you should utilize when moments such as these come up.

If an individual is on time and consistent you can start delegating roles to them during crew and begin having conversations with them around being part of your building blocks. Don't wait for the "perfect leader" to walk into your Crew. The truth is, your Crew will flow better and be more enjoyable for everyone if multiple people are involved in leading and organizing the night. Deciding on which role is the best fit should based on their personality and leadership skills.

An overview of your night, who led which parts of the night, guest contact info -- you should always write "ADD TO ROSTER" above the peoples names who you'd like added to your roster. If out of town guests or people from attend other crews join your crew you can still add their contact info but clearly state that they won't be added to roster. Always add first and last names for prayer requests and praise reports. A SWOT at the end of your summary will be helpful for you to continue improving your Crew each week.

Prepare in advance and arrive early! If you're speaking 30% of the time and others are speaking 70% of the time you're on your way to building a healthy Crew. Delegate roles and let the Building Blocks in your Crew know in advance what role they will help with that night so they can arrive prepared. Send out your Crew invite and work with your co-leads to individually text everyone on your roster and personally invite them out. Another great way to know if you're on your way to building a healthy Crew is if you have yourBuilding Blocks in place.

Crew is all about building relationships! Get to know each other, find out their story! Invest time into them by asking hard questions. Help connect dots for them by talking about the Growth Track, water baptism, serving and Crew.

We want to consistently be raising up leaders. Before the SZN begins, it should be your goal to have all your building blocks in place. In the event that you don't, continue to search out people who can support you in a building block role. You can even work with your previous Crew Leaders to see if there's anyone who can transition with you and also ask other people who aren't leading in their current Crew. Remember, it's not the job of a Crew Coach to find your building blocks!

Yes! We want to make sure that we are honoring other Crew Leaders when doing this. If an individual is not holding a Building Block role in another Crew, work with your Crew Coach and the other person's Crew Leader in facilitating this conversation. We want to make sure the other person's Crew Leader is aware of what's going on.

Part of your role as a Crew leader is building up those around you. Allow your Building Blocks to learn and grow. Give them and other consistent leaders in your Crew opportunities to lead in multiple areas of Crew, including in leading the discussion.

In moments that the conversation gets off topic, step in and redirect the conversation back on topic.
