PARISH RELATIONS COMMITTEE | |||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Mutuality in a congregation means that all God's people are called to equip
and empower one another in ministry. It is not just the pastors who are in the
ministry, but the ministry of each member of the congregation is also
important. Congregations will benefit from a small group of people who work
intentionally and intensively to encourage the ministry and mission of the
congregation. This takes place through relationship building, through scanning the
congregation's mission and focus, through making observations, and through offering
suggestions to the congregation Council. The Mutual Ministry committee is to
consider the potential for ministry, the unmet needs, and the opportunities
for nurturing an active, educated congregation with healthy relationships. Any
suggestions are to be constructive in nature with the intention of building
up, not tearing down.
