  2. On Being the Body of Christ. . . The church exists today to carry on the mission of Christ! We are called to be Great Commandment-Great Commission People!

  3. Ministry Is Service Ministry is the service we offer our world—whatever that may be—in the name of Jesus Christ.

  4. God-honoring ministry is the service we render in living out the Great Commandments as we seek to fulfill the Great Commission. The key is not busyness, but obedience to the Will of God. Are we seeking to grow together with others into the fullness of Christ through living a life of love and service to our world?

  5. The Ministry of Jesus The ministry of Jesus was determined by: His Father’s Will The needs of people Proclaiming Truth Casting Out Demons Cleansing Lepers Feeding the Hungry Confronting FalsehoodBlessing Children Restoring Sight Raising the Dead

  6. Most ministry can be accomplished through a variety of methods. The first question with which we must deal is not “How are we going to do what we do?” but, rather, “What is it that God really wants us to do?”

  7. Effective Congregational Ministry Earnestly, Passionately Seek God What is God doing in the world? How does He want me to be involved? Identify the needs of my world Identify what resources are available to help meet those needs Divine Inspiration/Passion Gifts, Talents, and Abilities Opportunity

  8. Congregations should prayerfully review ministry initiatives regularly—at least every 12 to 18 months—in order to assure that the focus of their corporate life is on the fulfilling of the Great Commission in the spirit of the Great Commandments.

  9. The Ministry of SHAPE/SHARE The ministry of SHAPE is to create healthy pastors/leaders who will do well and finish well in life and ministry so that their congregations can more effectively fulfill the Great Commission as Great Commandment people.
