OUTWARD FOCUS VS INWARD FOCUS OF MINISTRY “Focus of ministry is the logical development of vision and purpose.”
ISSUES • What is the motive for a church’s ministry? • What about care for folks already ‘in?’/appropriate balance • What about resistance to change in making the ministry more outward focused?
ISSUES • Who are those people “out there?” • Servant ministries/what do they need? • Demographics • How would/should our program offerings need to change? • How do we measure success?
THE FOUNDATION… 1 John 4:19 First we were loved, now we love. He loved us first. (The Message) We love because he first loved us! (RSV)
