Baptist Progress
Every Member "In" Ministry (POSTPONED)
MAY 20
Facilitator: Todd West, BMA of Texas Pastor Connections Coordinator
Where: BMA of Texas Building, 632 Farley Street, Waxahachie
Time: 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
As ministry leaders, we focus on making disciples of Jesus Christ. Have you considered that discipleship doesn’t just happen in the context of learning but also serving? We have all seen the radical change in the believer who “finds their lane” of service. What if I told you that you could potentially double the number of people serving? How would this impact the effectiveness of the church where God has placed you as a leader? The Every Member “In” Ministry workshop will give you practical, biblical ideas implemented in your church, regardless of location. The workshop will also foster relationships with other ministry leaders facing similar challenges and leave you feeling encouraged to join God on “mission” where you live.
