Simply Janitors.
There always seems to be some controversy over intellectual property rights and the role of church staff. Every church I talk to has a different policy on who owns the content created for the church.
Hybels is accountable to Willow's elders and their publishing policy. Yet, Maxwell, Lucado, Olsteen, Young, Jr. have always fought to own their IP. At Granger they don't. Some worship leaders create special music while "on the clock" of a church, yet get to own and sell the publishing rights, yet most drama script writers don't. We believe in empowering our team to have the freedom to launch personal companies and websites and sell their materials and create additional income for their families. (see the HR handbook for our specifics)
Today, I'm proud to announce that our Church Facilities Management Specialists (known as church janitors in most ministries) have created a line of training materials for other Church Facilities Management Specialists around the country called "Serving Together By Picking Up P.I.E.C.E.S. of Garbage in 40 Hours." The campaign is available at their website: www.SimplyGarbage.com.
Each kit includes:
- 120 Hours of DVD training
- 6 CD-Roms with downloadable resources like: how_to_get_gum_off_a_pew.pdf
- 3 Training Manuals on Church Bathroom Septic Survival Tips
- An old Ford pick-up truck
- Daily Devotional
- Key Chain with verses and room for 93 keys and a retractable chain
- Clean-up checklists for your Youth Directors after all youth events
- 1980's pager with a loose fitting leather belt.
Campaign Kit is also available in English.
