2 ways pastors undermine volunteer recruiting

2 ways pastors undermine volunteer recruiting

Any pastor knows that in order to accomplish ministry work within the church, volunteers are needed.

Below, I’ll share two ways that pastors unknowingly undermine volunteer recruitment as well as … [Read more...]

Building relationships with families touched by chronic illness and disability

The numbers have grown too big to ignore.

We have grown tremendously in the last two years. In care ministry, though, especially as the church grows, I can’t be in all places at all times. Because of this reality, it’s … [Read more...]

Why your deacons should be involved in care ministry

June 16, 2016 by Dr. Tim Lane

Why your deacons should be involved in care ministry

No pastoral care model can do without deacons. Their primary calling is not administration and maintenance of a church’s facilities. They, too, are to focus on people. First Timothy 3 and Acts 6 are important passages that confirm this commitment to people. In 1 Timothy 3:8, the deacon is to be wise with finances, “not pursuing dishonest gain.” He is to be faithful with … [Read more...]
