However, in a departmentalized culture, many spiritual disciplines, including the Great Commission, can be outsourced willingly or unwittingly to one department. Instead, Missions Pastor Doug Gamble explains that churches need a new infusion of vision that uses departmental efforts to develop everyone in all the core disciplines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Doug explains the journey his church took to \u201cun-silo\u201d and how it is creating a climate in which the Great Commission really is becoming every person\u2019s job. (Note that this goes both ways. The author found himself teaching third-graders for the children\u2019s department.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/catalystservices.org\/break-out-of-your-missions-silo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read the article<\/a>.<br><br>Catalyst Services also shared a list of some of their Postings most popular with church leaders.
