Ministries at Peace Lutheran Church -- In baptism God frees all people
and gathers them into the church to minister to the world.
-- Every Christian is created for ministry (Eph. 2:10), saved
for ministry (2Tim. 1:9), called to ministry (1Peter 2:9-10), authorized
for ministry (Matt. 28:18-20), commanded to minister (Matt. 28:26-28),
prepared for ministry (Eph. 4:11-12), needed for ministry (1Cor. 12:27),
accountable for ministry (Col. 3:23-24). (Purpose Driven Church, Rick
Warren, p. 268).
-- Every ministry is important. There are no insignificant
ministries (1 Cor. 12:18-22).
-- We are dependent on each other. Every ministry is intertwined
with every other ministry. Each ministry is needed to complete the picture.
We must work together.
-- We have been called to faith and given gifts for ministry.
We have Christ's promise to be with us as we seek to be faithful in our
ministry.
-- We are called to use our gifts in the context of the community
of the church. (Taken from Peace Lutheran's 1999 Plan
of Reorganization)
