CHURCH MINISTRY

Mission Conferences and Faith Promise Mission - A program of encouragement for local churches.

I have spent all of my pastoral experience using the "Faith Promise" mission giving principal. An older, much wiser pastor told me when we planted our church, that the great mission minded churches are "Faith Promise" churches. God has blessed our church with a great missions program that is meeting the needs of missionaries here at home as well as on the foreign field. I would like to have the opportunity to teach these"Faith Promise" principles in your mission conferences to help your people and your church become a great "Faith Promise" church.

Preaching for soul winning, personal dedication and family enrichment.

The ministry of the church that we planted was founded on the principles of winning souls, encouraging members in their personal, daily walk with God and building strong families. The Lord has provided opportunities to see all of these things prosper in our church and has also given us the opportunity to share these principles with other churches. God also allowed me to teach "Personal Soul Winning" at Ambassador Baptist College in Lattimore, SC. Should the Lord allow us to come along side your ministry, we want to challenge your congregation to be "light and salt" in this world and win the lost to Christ.

Seminars for men, ladies, and couples - times to renew commitments to our Lord, spouse and family.

My wife and I have conducted meetings of various kinds that can meet the needs of your congregation. We have conducted family seminars at The Wilds of NC and CO as well as Northland Bible College in Dunbar, WI. The Lord has given me opportunities to serve in Men's Retreats and Father/Son Campouts. My wife has been used of the Lord to meet the needs of ladies in many different settings. Her testimony is a blessing and challenge to ladies of all ages.

Soul winning, & Sunday school consultation - presentation of methods for growth through soul winning and Sunday school administration.

We have seen God's blessing in our efforts to plant a church in a small community. The church is now prospering with Sunday school attendance averaging 750 per Sunday. Our outreach and soul winning programs are continuing to penetrate the lost community and win them to Christ. Programs such as C.A.R.E., Andrew, Barnabas and Timothy can help your church grow to be what God wants it to be.

Church planting - Advising and assisting in establishing of new churches or encouraging pastors and congregations of newly started churches.

As the Lord provides, our desire is come along side prospective church planters and help them start a new work. Our church began as a church plant. We started the church 17+ years ago and saw God bless our efforts to raise up a work that would reach a community for Christ. God provided 22 acres of land and facilities to accommodate a congregation of over 800 today. We have helped others with the initial stages of church planting such as determining the area to start the church, acquiring a meeting place, developing the materials needed to begin to advertise the new ministry, door-to-door visitation to encourage people to attend and then starting the services.
