Ministry Purpose

 

"Teacher, which command in the law is the most important?" Jesus answered, "'Love your God with all your heart, soul and mind.' This is the first and most important. 
And the second command is like the first: 'Love your neighbour as you love yourself.'" Matthew 22:36-40  

 

In these two commands there stands out some great truths that our ministry can model. First, "Love the Lord your God", which is worship and "Love your neighbour as yourself", which is service. Worship and service are important parts of our children's & family ministry.

 

The great commission in Matthew 28:19-20 says, "So go and make followers of all people in the world. Baptize them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach them to obey everything that I have told you. You can be sure that I will be with you always. I will continue with you until the end of the world."

 

From these verses we see three very important purposes. The first is "go and make followers" which is evangelism. "Baptize them," which is fellowship and "teach them to obey," which is discipleship. Evangelism, fellowship and discipleship are also important parts of our children's ministry.

 

The goals of our ministry are to ensure children and their families within our reach:

·    Love the Lord their God (Worship)

·    Love their neighbour (Service)

·    Go and make followers (Evangelism)

·    Baptize them (Fellowship)

·    Teach them to obey (Discipleship)
