Overview

This is not a church growth program; it is a Lifestyle of Love that will empower believers to discover the Miracles the Lord has prepared for them, and lead scores of hurting people to the Lord.

The Care Ministry is designed to make sure that the vistors don't fall through the cracks. Members of the care team meet and greet visitors at the church services. During the service care team members ask about the visitors' needs and prays for them. Then, the team follows up throughout the next few weeks trying their best to be a friend to the first time attender.

Through the Care Ministry we will be able to identify visitors and guests to our church, identify and pray for their needs, initaiate them into the love of Christ, and intergrate them into the family of Christ.

Values of the Care Ministry

1. The Ministry of the Believer

You are a miracle waiting to happen. The Lord is in each believer to meet the needs of others by the power of the Holy Spirit and the love of God. The needs of the visitors, the unchurched, and the unsaved cannot be met by chruch staff. Only equipping the saints to do the work of ministry will the church gather the harvest.

2. Availability

My availability gives God opportunity to do a miracle through me. Miracles occur because of the grace and favor of God, and not man's natural or spiritual ability. Availability is the step of faith that gives God the opportunity to do what He wants to do: meet needs by the power of the Holy Spirit.

3. Need Fulfillment Ministry

Visitors are not visitors; visitors are miracles disguised as needs. Jesus came to meet the needs of hurting humanity by the power of the Love of God and the Holy Spirit of God. The key to success is to find a need and fill it, find a hurt and heal it.

4. Relationships

Heartfelt Needs are met through relationships. Relationships empower the Care Member to meet the needs of others by first meeting the needs of those ministering. Loving relationships strengthen the Care Member to meet the needs of the visitor and Love bonds the visitor to the church.

5. Training

Training produces competence, competence produces confidence, and confidence produces success. Christians need more than the nurture of the Word to be effective ministers. Ministry skills training will equip the believer for an effective need fulfillment ministry.

6. Team Ministry

Team Ministry produces multiplication by the power of the unity of the Holy Spirit. Individual effort will not accomplish the purpose of the church. Team ministry releases the synergy of the Holy Spirit by employing the gifts, strengths, and skills of each individual to become one on the team. Interdependence on the Care Team releases each person to achieve the greatest effectiveness.

7. Discipleship

The goal of the Care Ministry is a disciple of Jesus Christ. The difference between a disciple and a decision is simply that a decision is invisible and a disciple is in church. A disciple is one whol is initiated into the Kindom of God, integrated into the relationships and ministry of the Church, and owns the bision and values of the local church.

8. Vision

Vision produces faith, faith produces passion, and passion produces commitment. A fresh vision of the ministry of the believer, of the harvest, and of the relationships in the local church will empower the Christian to experience the ministry the Lord has for them.
