Summer Team

It Takes a Large Team

This is the hands and feet of how ministry is possible here. The team will assist in running not only That Thing, but also in working with all of the guests who use our facilities throughout the summer. Roles Include:

• Waterfront and Program Support
  
• Counselors
  
• Customer Service
• Business Administration
• Medic
  
• Beach House Staff
  
• Video Production
  
• A/V Production Staff (sound, lighting, video-control, etc.)

The Right Bus

In his book Good to Great, Jim Collins writes that great organizations get the “right people” in the “right seats” on the “right bus.”
That Thing is a sr. high student conference expanding God’s Kingdom here on earth by reaching churched students. This is not an evangelism event. It is a program that helps students understand the value of and become missional people who live like Christ, fight injustice, resist faith-apathy and bring hope and love to a world in need.

People on the right bus here at That Thing tend to understand that the world is deeply in need of healing and restoration though Jesus Christ; that the body of Christ has more to offer than we so often give; and that together, primally living like Christ, we are the answer carrying His hope and love. The vision given us is bold, we know it is of God and so we trust and are committed to it; we are growing towards a vision of 10,000 people every year.

The Right People

• Authentic Christ Follower: Ultimately the positions here are meant to create the community and experiences that will transform these students lives for Jesus Christ. You must not only love God, you must love God’s people, and you must also love God’s Word and know how to live it.
  
• A Producer: The people who will fit perfectly are passionately desiring to further the Kingdom of God, never satisfied putting forth a single iota less than their absolute best and always find a way to get it done.
  
• Quick Study & Adaptable: Serving in these roles requires being able to easily pick up new processes and tasks quickly. Ministry in a camp-style setting requires adaptability and flexibility in positions that switch gears/focus from one minute to the next.
  
• Aptitude for the Position: We’ve learned that sometimes the right people don’t always arrive with the skill set in place; they do however have an inherent potential for the position. (A person with no training in live audio but an excellent musicians ear may end up as a Sound Engineer. Or, someone with no leadership experience but the perfect outgoing and engaging personality may make a great Fun Engineer)
