The "Content" of Ministry: What supplies our various ministries with their responsibilities.
Our responsibilities are three-fold: evangelism, discipleship, and missions; "And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable men who will also be qualified to teach others," 2 Timothy 2:2. Our desire is to see every ministry bearing these three responsibilities in various ways.
1. EVANGELISM :
We seek to equip and encourage each individual believer in the church to share their faith in Jesus Christ as a way of life with their normal daily contacts. We will vary our approach to planned evangelism according to each specific audience. We also plan attractive outreach events where people can invite their non-Christian friends to hear the gospel.
2. DISCIPLESHIP :
a. We desire that all of our adults be involved in the disciple-making process, where they are being discipled and are involved in ministries where they are discipling others.
b. The student and children's ministries will supplement parental teaching and modeling of a relationship with Christ, with the goal of salvation and personal spiritual growth for each young person. These ministries will provide Biblically based instruction appropriate to each age level which challenges them to mature in Christ.
3. MISSIONS :
We seek to have our total congregation involved in missions by praying for our missionaries, giving towards our missions budget and special projects, and being involved personally by going, be it locally or beyond our sphere of influence.
