Partners in Ministry
What is Partners in Ministry? It is the pastor and members of the church working together following the teachings of Jesus. All who are believers are Partners in Ministry and that includes all who are members of Christ Church. Jesus could not do the work of the church alone and chose 12 disciples to assist him. This process continues even today. When we accepted Jesus as our Lord and Savior we accepted his call to be Partners in Ministry.
Our Bishop appoints an ordained pastor to be our spiritual leader and mentor, but like Jesus the pastor can not do the work alone. Below is a list of the people who have accepted the Partners in Leadership positions of Christ Church. These persons can not do the job alone and need the help of the entire church. They are always in need of prayer and as they meet and discern how and where Christ Church is being calling do ministry. As followers of Jesus and members of Christ Church we are called to assist in doing these ministries.
If you have any questions about any of the ministries of Christ Church or would like to suggest a new ministry please feel free to call any one of the persons serving in your area of interest or attend the meeting of the team. You would have voice at the meeting but would not have a vote. The Staff Parish Relations Team is the only meeting that is a closed meeting as it deals with personnel issues. Also if you would like to serve on one of the teams please contact the pastor or a member of the People Resource Team.
