Celebrating our Regional Ministries

This title highlights the primary nature of regions in nurturing, supporting, and engaging congregations in their mission. Regions serve to extend the ministry of Christ through mission, teaching, witness, and service. They establish, receive, and nurture congregations, providing help, counsel, and pastoral care. Regions also collaborate with other religious bodies and ecumenical structures. They witness to the unity of the Christian Church and raise awareness of opportunities and responsibilities beyond local concerns. Let's celebrate the labor of love in Jesus' name.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Celebrating our Regional Ministries One: The primary nature of regions is drawn from the Acts of the Apostles in Paul’s desire to nurture, support, and engage congregations as unique entities and as gatherings of congregations related to one another in their mission.

  2. All: Regions serve to extend the ministry of Christ in mission, teaching, witness, and service among the people and social structures of the region.

  3. One: Regions serve to establish, receive, and nurture congregations in the region, providing help, counsel, and pastoral care to members, ministers, and congregations in their mutual relationships, and relating them to the worldwide mission and witness of the whole church.

  4. All: Wherever ecumenical action is possible to fulfill their mission, regions join with similar geographic units of other religious bodies and with present and emerging ecumenical structures.

  5. One: As an integral part of the whole church, regions witness to the unity of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) by calling congregations to an awareness of opportunities and responsibilities beyond local concerns.

  6. All: Likewise, regions call the general expression of the church to an awareness of the needs of congregations and of regions. We receive the reports of our Regions with gratitude for your labors of love in Jesus’ name.
