This unique resource, developed around the 2001 General Synod, invites your church members, to a degree they may never have experienced before, into an active and fulfilling role in ministry. Every Christian--Called by God, Gifted for Ministry introduces the concept of spiritual gifts: the biblical promise that all are called and equipped by God to be in ministry together.
The Implementation Guide explains in more detail why and how might use Every Christian--Called by God, Gifted for Ministry. These resources can be used as part of a small group Bible study, in a retreat format, or individually administered. They are designed to raise the awareness of both current and new church members that they have a unique place in your church's ministry.
God is calling all of us to a way of living that is more fulfilling than anything we can imagine. Thank you for being open to the ways God can bless your church's mission and ministry.
