Lay Leadership

It’s time for us to look at the leadership of our church for the coming year.


Mark 10:43-44 but whoever wishes to become great among you must be your servant, 44 and whoever wishes to be first among you must be slave of all.

How will you be in ministry this year?

This coming week the Lay Leadership team of our church will begin its work of nominations for church offices but more than that it will attempt to help each of us articulate a call to ministry.

Isaiah 6:7-8 "Now that this has touched your lips, your guilt has departed and your sin is blotted out." 8 Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?" And I said, "Here am I; send me!"

Just as we are asked to give a portion of our income to God’s work so we can also tithe our time.

Your ministry may or may not be directly in or through the church but it is a Call in the service of Christ. Still, the church does need people’s help and your dedication is what moves us beyond the One-Man-Band model and into the beauty of the Orchestra working together for Christ.

Where are you going to be in ministry this coming year? Don’t necessarily wait to be asked. Volunteer!
