Start an Impact Team

What is an Impact Team?

An Impact Team is a focused team led by Flood Church members unleashed to impact the world, motivated by the gospel of Jesus Christ. Evangelism, compassion, justice and leadership development are the guiding objectives of these teams as they seek to transform every aspect of society empowered by the Spirit of God. From family life to the arts, to government and education, to community development and the environment, our vision is to see people from our church actively involved and engaged in missional service around the world. Each team would revolve around a specific interest or skill, strategizing ways to bless others through that interest or skill.

Though led by active Flood Church members, the service opportunities created are open to any and all people interested in participating. Following the strategy outlined in Acts 1:8, where Christ says, “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth," our church’s desire is to be a witness for Christ in strategic locations around the world. Acknowledging that many people have a variety of passions for different cultures and place in the world, our church has chosen strategic locations to leverage our influence and maximize our impact. In this regard, our desire is to see focused teams dedicated to impacting one or more of the following areas:
• Flood Church
• Linda Vista, a community within San Diego, home to Kearny High School
• City of San Diego
• Tijuana, Mexico
• Lilongwe, Malawi, Africa
• Lira, Uganda, Africa

How Do I Start an Impact Team?

The process for starting an Impact Team is simple. First, download the Impact Team Proposal. Once completed, you will mail or email the proposal to a Flood Staff member who will then follow up with you to discuss your ideas. Once approved, you will be unleashed to impact the world with Flood Church! You will be given access to the Flood website to promote service opportunities sponsored by your team and will be assigned a coach who will provide you with support, communication and leadership training. While the activities of your team are largely decided upon by your specific vision and goals, there may be occasional large-scale events and opportunities to participate in organized by the Flood Staff.
