1 Ministry Programs From Our Pastors Gerald and LaVerne Reliford For many years, the church layperson had the attitude of, Let those who are trained do the work of ministering and he/she came to church only on Sunday mornings to get a weekly "fill-up." As we come to God's Word, however, this reasoning does not hold up under the light of the gospel. In writing to the "saints and faithful ones in Christ Jesus" in the Book of Ephesians, the Apostle Paul sets forth the type of people that have been given to the Body as gifts - the apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers. The goal of the pastor is to equip the saints for a specific purpose. This purpose is the "work of the ministry" or "work of ministering." It was never our heavenly Father's intent to have only certain ones in the body of Christ do all the work. In fact, we find in First Corinthians 12 that, just as in our physical body, every member has a vital role to play. Much more in the Body of Christ every member is a necessary part to a smooth functioning organism. Equipping the Saints for Service October 2011 Ephesians 4:11-12 (NIV) Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors, and teachers, to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up. The pastor-teacher must be a trainer and example to their people through teaching the Word and personal discipleship. Then, as the various ministries are established, leaders are established, also. Being confident with this leadership, the pastor can move on to spearhead the other needed ministries, still having time to do those pastoral functions and study God's Word. As your pastors-teachers, we are constantly looking at how we can involve the members to do these very things. We have had the privilege to see others picking up in areas that need special attention, but that are often overlooked because they are considered of lesser importance by some. God simply needs saints who are available and willing. Be assured that when you desire to be used, He will give you a "work of ministry" that will bring glory and honor to His name! "And whatsoever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; knowing that of the Lord you shall receive the reward of the inheritance, for you serve the Lord Christ." (Col. 3:23, 24)

We promote worship and educate them about the love of God through practical lessons, games, crafts, and singing. The Youth Ministry builds strong personal relationships with God and with each other in a safe, Godly environment. We focus on training young people to use Christianity in every area of their life so that they can, in turn, share with others at school, with their families, or around the community.

To be in fellowship with those different than ourselves will require us to stay in fellowship with God. Our benevolence ministry is designed to help our church people with the basic necessities of life and to serve those in need with material items and/or service, so they may be connected to Christ and grow in full devotion to Him. The greatest act of benevolence will go beyond physical assistance to a compassionate investment and commitment of time, energy, and love.
