These three areas are was drive CCV's culture of growth and community. Cameron talks about having a healthy culture of commraderie among team members. Having a mind to grow and learn is also vital to a healthy team. Growing from a couple basic DSLR cameras to a fully geared up team didn't happen over night, it came by building trust with the leadership team of the church. They also were great stewards of every piece of equipment given to them over the years. We speak a little to the importance of building a cohesive spirit within a multi-site campus. Cameron talks about how each campus is specifically chosen and sought out before purchasing or leasing. They want to make sure there are areas for people to congregate, hangout and fellowship, not just on Sundays, but throughout the week. This mentality has been a driving factor to their growth.Cameron and his team aren't all business, they also make time to do things as a team—even participating in some occasional office pranks.
