The ministry of Christian congregations hasn't changed much over the centuries. Most congregations minister in five areas:
As a community of believers, we also embrace those five roles. We believe all five roles should be enacted each time we gather on Sundays. That's why our Sunday gathering is the heart and pulse of our congregation. In our ninety-minute worship service, we praise the Lord and nourish our souls as followers of Jesus. We share a time for fellowship, serving, and testifying with one another.
When we leave our gathered community, we carry those five roles into our everyday lives.
