canterburyWhat is focused ministry?  

When many people think of ministry, they think of a pastor--a person who gets paid to preach or provide some other leadership in a church. But there's a lot more to ministry than just what the pastor does. The Bible equates ministry with service, and says it is the responsibility of every Christian.



jaimelynFocused ministry includes discovering your unique God-given design and allowing God to use you in strategic service for His purposes. Your focused ministry may start by simply serving on a ministry team (such as setup) because it's a place to get involved and there is a need for you to be involved. But as you continue to grow you will discover how God has put you together (your personality, gifts, abilities, passion, experiences) and you'll begin to discover the place you need to be focusing your service (ministry) so you can be fruitful and fulfilled.
