2.Mobilising

Posted October 9th, 2012 by Uniting Presbyterian Church in Southern Africa.

• Firstly, we are very excited about the Order of Lay Ministries which celebrates, blesses, equips and encourages our members to respond to God’s call in various kinds of ministry. This includes the Lay Preachers, Pastoral Visitors, Youth Workers and other ministries in the life of the church.
• Secondly, we are also excited about Mission: Proclaiming the Kingdom and growing the Church.
  There are three ways in which we are working toward this:
  • Church Development Evangelists (CDE’s) who are pioneering new work.
  • Missional Congregations Project: Fresh Expressions and Mission-Shaped Ministry Courses, articles and research which equip and inspire people for Church planting.
  • Promoting the growth of the church through Initialization Grants that will inspire and equip people in Mission.
• Finally, in our Discipleship Drive we are committed to sourcing, promoting and providing opportunities and resources to assist our members to grow in faith and service.
