What Builds A Local Church (in the human perception)

LEADERSHIP


STRUCTURE


DIRECTION


PURPOSE


DESIRE

COMMITMENT


SET IN MOTION



TO LAY OUT THE PURPOSE DIRECTIVES


PROGRAMS OR MINISTRIES WITHOUT AN UNDERSTANDING OF ITS PHILOSOPHY WILL ONLY BE A PROGRAM OR MINISTRY


A set of unalterable principles that determines how you will function in the ministry


The general guidelines that will help achieve the purpose of the ministry


  1. The Purpose is First

  2. Then the Implementation is Second

  3. Bring the leaders of ministry to agree and understand those purposes then have the workers to comprehend the intention of the ministry

A well articulated principle of ministry that is biblical is essential to
"DOING GOD’S WORK IN GOD’S WAY."

What should drive a particular ministry?


  1. Are there different approaches we can take to have an effective ministry?

  2. How do we evaluate a potential ministry opportunity?

  3. How do we develop a ministry that is biblically driven?
