Ministry Teams - Introduction

One of the necessary prerequisites for Christian growth and maturity is the exercise of spiritual gifts and abilities for the Lord (Eph. 4:11-16; 1 Cor 12). In an effort to do a better job of providing opportunities for using your gifts, we are developing Ministry Teams. These teams include: Missions Team, Worship & Music Team, Property Team, Finance Team, Welcome & Hospitality Team, Christian Education Team, Care Team, Communications Team.

All of these teams obviously, cannot be developed at the same time and some are already functioning. The Missions Team has recently had an organizational meeting to think through opportunities and strategy. The Worship & Music team is planning a meeting to begin to begin its development. The other teams will be organized as we feel that we have been able to get these two functioning well.

A few of these teams are already functioning such as the Care Team (overseen by the Deacons & Deaconesses), the Finance Team, (overseen by the finance officers), the Property Team (overseen by the Trustees).

The purpose of these Ministry Teams is to provide opportunities for each person to use the gifts that God has given. Our current emphasis is to get the structure in place to make these teams effective. Your prayer are appreciated! You will be kept informed so that you can participate in an area where you feel God is directing. (More specific information about each team will be shared in future entries).
