Nurturing Ministry
FY 2008
Other Nurturing
Ministry Initiatives:
4
Continued work with Student Ministry Transition Team
- vision of serving 100-150 students through PoP’s ministry
- worship, service, and ongoing discipleship are key components
- continued search for an experienced Minister to Students to lead and
train
4
Leading in Ministry to Families
- join a network – Association of Family Friendly Churches, drawing others
in this region
- utilize consultant to evaluate and affirm current ministry structures as
we serve families
- be intentional in our desire to equip families for the challenges of
today…and tomorrow
4
Small Group Ministries
- continuing the growth that we have seen this past year (Heartline
groups; young adults group; groups that have come back together after
being dormant)
- explore a name change: “Life Groups”; may assist those who are hesitant
to become a part of a “Bible study group”
- draw together additional leaders to steer this vital ministry
- develop new training structures (modeling and mentoring for new leaders)
4
Ministry to Inactives
- has been working behind the scenes to equip
- a continuing need to “train everyone; enlist those God has called to
serve in this way”
- focus is not on numbers, per se, but on people and
continuing the relationships; trusting God to take care of the results
