Start A New Ministry
One of the big ideas at Olive Knolls Church is that every believer is a minister.
Another way of putting that is, “If God has chosen you, He has chosen you for a purpose.”
Ephesians 2:10
For We are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
In many churches if you ask, “Who is the minister around here?” everyone would point to a pastor. At Olive Knolls, we say, “I am, or he is, or she is, or we all are!” And the potentioal of that answer is huge. There are no limitations on how many people we might reach if everyone starts their own ministry in their circle of influence. How do you start your own ministry?
- Hear from God.
- Proceed Prayerfully
- Do your homework
- Share the vision with the pastoral leadership*
- Build a Ministry Team
- Organize
- Set a start date
- Find a venue – think “outside the box”
- Promote your ministry
- Proceed under the Spirit’s direction.
At Olive Knolls, one of our values is empowerment. we want to say “Yes!” to what God wants to do in and through your life.
