Ministry Opportunities for 2010/2011
Every baptized Christian is called to ministry. Some are called to exercise their ministry within the life of their congregation, while others are called by God to use their gifts in ministries beyond Eagle Ridge. Our goal is to help you discern your gifts and calling for ministry and then deploy them in the service of Jesus Christ, wherever that may be.
If you have not yet completed LifeKeys, we invite you to invest 45 minutes and complete the Spirit-Given Gifts inventory. Spirit-given, or Spiritual Gifts, are those things you do naturally well, that God has given you to specifically do God’s work. Knowing your top three Spirit-Given Gifts will help point you in the direction of your most empowered and life-giving ministry.
To see the ministries of which you can be a part at Eagle Ridge, scan through the list of Ministries to your left, link to their synopses and ask yourself, “Is this what God might be calling me to do?” Some of the ministries require a great deal in terms of current skills and callings, while others allow for you to test out just exactly where God would like you to minister. At the end of each synopsis, you will find a link that will take you to a more detailed “Ministry Description.” Come back to the Overview of the Ministry and you will find a form that you can complete in order to express your interest, offer your services, or simply ask a question or two.
If you don’t see anything here that speaks to you, but you do have an idea for a ministry, you may be called to exercise your ministry by participating in or even leading a LIFE Group. If so, please speak to Pastor Dave about this critical way of offering more vital ministries.
God bless your exploration!
