Do everything as unto the Lord!
Excellence is NOT a policy decision.
It is a mind-set, an attitude, a way of
thinking and behaving. We create a
mind-set of excellence in our
business, our sports teams, our
churches and our homes not merely
by demanding excellence but by
modeling excellence.
Five Star Concept
Strive for excellence in serving
others as we serve God!
Principle 1
We want to be the best that we can be,
reach our potential, serve people better
and glorify God. To do this, we must be
intentional and perpetual.
Principle 2
Let’s practice what we preach and put
thorns in our laurels.
Principle 3
Everyone on the ministry team is
involved in analyzing what we do, how
we do it and how we can do it better to
serve people best.
Principle 4
Who are the best people for the ministry
tasks, and what are the best resources
that we can afford?
Principle 5
We need to discuss the Q (Quality)
Factor when we plan a project, after an
event and in our scheduled staff
meetings.
Principle 6
Invest time and money to teach, train
and retain people to develop their skills
and to implement quality ministry
methods.
Principle 7
The leader’s job is to buy into the
concept for quality concern, cast the
vision and never delegate the core
value.
Principle 8
Provide a safe, secure environment to
share ideas.

Build a team mindset to avoid
departmental barriers.

Eliminate slogans and short term goals.
