We believe that by virtue of our baptism, we are all called to ministry.We have God-given gifts and talents which enable us to serve the Lord. Many of us are fortunate as adults to have careers which enable us to minister to God's people. Others of us practice our ministry within relationships with family, friends and neighbors. Some of us minister within the church.
We use the early church as a ministry model.St. Paul helped establish churches by working with leaders who emerged naturally in the life of each budding Christian community.Like the early Christians, our congregation identifies a team of leaders. This Ministry Support Team supports and encourages the ministries of all our members.Ministry Support Team members are trained through the Diocese of Michigan Total Ministry Program, The Whitaker Institute, The Academy For Vocational Leadership, and The Seminary of the South School of Theology. Then they are commissioned and ordained by our bishop to serve as the Ministry Support Team within this congregation.
