What is it?
The Shepherd's ministry is a prayer and visitation ministry that God uses to care for members within the church. In addition, the Shepherds fulfill an important role during worship services. They minister each week to the people around them. This may involve recognizing needs, greeting people, helping seat people, becoming available during communion to pray, helping families with children understand our children's ministry and the Family room. In essence, they are ready and available to take initiative.
Why is it important?
Jesus said "by this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another." One significant way we express love as a church is when leaders (Shepherds) praying for and visiting those in need.
Who are the Shepherds?
A Shepherd is a person who is recognized by a pastor or staff member as spiritually mature. They exemplify love and care for others and take initiative to minister when they recognize needs. The elders select, equip, and coordinate the Shepherds ministry.
