Welcome to the Team

If you've joined the team, you might have already completed these steps (so you could have the satisfaction of just ticking them off straight away).

• Step 1 - Join the Breakthrough Family (45min)
  This is the exciting step to officially make Breakthrough your church home (in the past it would have been called church membership).
  
  If you haven't done this before, it's the first step to joining Team Breakthrough.
  
  It's a really simple online presentation about partnering with the mission, calling and values of Breakthrough - it will take about 45 minutes in total.
  
  At the end of the presentation you are given the opportunity to sign a Partnership Certificate.

• Step 2 - Complete Launchpad (15min)
  The Launchpad is the way to become a part of Team Breakthrough.
  
  It's a simple, 15-minute online course about finding your place and launching you into the team!
  As part of Launchpad you will have the opportunity to answer a series of questions to explore more about YOU (your passions, your gifts, your calling and how God made you unique). For your convenience, here is a link to those questions.

There are some key tools we use in Team Breakthrough to work together effectively. You can use the guides below to get set up.

• Step 8 - Get started in Slack (Communications)
  We use Slack for all our communications in Team Breakthrough. It helps us communicate effectively, and make sure everyone is across all they need to know! Your Grow Team leader will help you get on Slack, and you can use this video to learn about how to use it, so you can be a Slacker with the rest of us!
  
  
• Step 9 - Set up Elvanto (Service plans & resources)
  Elvanto is a really important tool for anyone who is a part of Sunday church. It houses all of our rostering, service plans and range of important resources.
  You'll be set up with login details (you can chat to your Grow Team if you haven't received that yet).
