As a combination worship and fellowship space, worship services are shared on Sunday mornings and meals are served on Wednesday nights. Years since have seen the construction of an additional building in 2009 to be used for varied education ministries. But the history of buildings and growth is simply a reflection of the church’s ministries. The property and the buildings are tools to assist the congregation in following and growing Christ. Because of the tools of meeting space, ministries of the church and other Christian fellowships can occur throughout the week.
I served as Conference Coordinator for my church for five years. I put together conferences for Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Texas. I have preached, consecrated and offered communion to all of Gods people. I have written and taught classes about “Inclusivity in the Church”. I have held the hand of two very special people in my life as they took their last breath here on earth and had the privilege of seeing the Spirit of God take them as I
Faith in God was the driving force behind the (mostly) non-violent marches, protests, boycotts, rallies, and sit-ins that were designed to bring about equality for African Americans. Martin Luther King Jr. is the first name that comes to mind when one thinks about the movement, and he was a minister of the word of God. This shows the direction that the movement would have followed in. Our American history is replete with examples of people of faith, who have broken the vessels of
Members may swap in and out of existing groups, but the hope is that ultimately all members understand and value the great treasure all generations, genders and races bring to the Christian community. Ultimately all participants will come to the realization of the great truth from 2 Corinthians 12:8-9: “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Where they lack, Christ will be strong for them. SELF-ASSESSMENT OF HOW THE 5 ESSENTIAL ACTIVITIES OF AN Education that Produces Disciples Was Incorporated and Integrated Mitchell lists the five essential activities of an education that produces disciples. An assessment of how these elements were addressed in the Cord of Three Strands ministry plan is shown below. 1.

I have successfully read Crisis counseling: A guide for Pastors and Professionals, now its time for practical application. While reading this book I thought of several different ministries within my local church assembly that could benefit from this book. Especially since my church is located in the heart of a very high risk community, I believe it is important to educate our ministry on how to deal with crises as well as to show them and guide them through the process. Showing the community that the church is still relevant and that we care about the well-being of the people is how we all can cope with and get through crises. As stated before the plan of action is simple, however, we as the body of Christ have got to become more sensitive to the needs of the people and the one of the ways we can do that is through counseling.
After much study I have decided to base my talk off of Elder Jeffery R. Holland’s talk titles “The Cost-and Blessings- of Discipleship” given in the April 2014 General Conference. Elder Holland begins his talk by giving President Monson our love. President Monson gives of his life freely for this church every day and is a prime example of what it means to be a disciple of Christ. Every day the world views and the laws of God drift apart. We need to search our hearts and pray that we may find ourselves on the Lords side.
The bible is here to help us live our everyday lives as Christians. For years African Americans had to reinterpret the bible to help them reorganize their lives. We had to put it in our own context, because the bible was used to oppress us. Africans were more concerned with experiences. Migliore states that the bible is a witness, and at its center it attests the sovereign, liberating grace of God in Christ.
Children are our neighbors whom we are called to love. Christians enrich our welcoming of children to a life of faith by holding together these diverse perspectives on whom they are. Because they are gifts of God, for example, we will respect their dignity and bring joy, laughter, and a sense of obligation into teaching and forming them in home and congregation. Because they—like all the baptized—are sinners as well as saints and in need of instruction, we will emphasize the vital role of families in instilling the habits and practices of faithful living, and we will develop substantial congregational programs of faith formation. We will introduce them to good examples, mentors, and stories of faith and service and help them discern their callings.
