Ministry Think Weekend

ccec web — Sat, 01 May 2010 12:31:38 +0000

We’re setting aside the last weekend in May (29-31st) for for church pastors and growers interested in joining us here on the Central Coast to talk ministry.

With some regularity we get people asking about the ministries of EV (formally Central Coast Evangelical Church) – what we are doing and why and how. People have a particular interest in the matrix structure we run and how we have staffed for specialist ministry areas rather than just establishing congregational pastors, but they also ask about everything from evangelism processes, through to children’s ministries.

We’ve been wondering what to do with this interest and have decided to set aside the last weekend in May (29-31st) for anyone interested to join us here on the Central Coast to talk ministry. We’ve put together a program that covers everything from evangelism programs, through incorporating new people and believers, maturing and discipling believers, building ministry participation (the volunteer revolution) through to tailoring services for different audiences (we presently run 5 different services). The program will also include time on focus ministries like children’s, youth, men and women’s work.

It probably doesn’t need to be said, but we’ll say it anyway! We are very far from being the experts and are aware of our particular situation and context that God has used to grow the work here. We are not the only way to grow churches! But there may be something of value if you are interested.

And ultimately, the only reason we decided to take this step and make a weekend of it is that we believe it might mean a group may gather (already a number have indicated they will be coming) that will want to talk more broadly about growing churches in our Australian context and might be able to use EV as a starting point for that discussion .

To that end, we’ve invited leaders from other churches similar to ours to provide some input.

We expect it will be a useful time for chewing over how to ground churches in strong theology and yet still grow them in culturally relevant ways.

The draft program below indicates the breadth of areas we will cover. You can choose to focus in on areas you are particularly interested in.

We can happily organise billeting or provide information on hotel accommodation. The Central Coast is a beautiful place to hang out!

If this is of interest to you, please email Tony Mitchell. He can send you further info or answer any queries.

For the name of Christ,
Andrew Heard

Draft Program:

Consider theology, principles, strategies of ministry practice – and how they developed.

Digging Deeper – two modules starting 10th May

grahame — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 09:50:14 +0000

Digging Deeper is for anyone who wants to dig deeper into God’s Word that they might know Him better and love Him more.

The God’s Book, God’s Plan module is designed to give us an overview of what the Bible is, what it’s about and how it all fits together. The Bible is the unfolding story of God’s salvation in history for His glory, and it all points to Jesus. And in God’s Book, God’s Plan we look at how story of the Bible unfolds and how every bit of it is actually about Jesus. This helps people read and understand the Bible better, and lays the foundation for every other Digging Deeper course. We also look at things like how historically accurate is the Bible and how to read the Old Testament well.

The Living Word module is designed to answer the question: How is it that we can know Almighty God? Can we know Him through His creation? Can we know Him through reasoned thinking and philosophy? Can we know Him through our experiences and emotions? In this Digging Deeper module we will investigate how God reveals Himself to us and so how we can know Him truly, as He actually is, not as we imagine Him to be. This will have real applications for how we treat God’s Word and for how we think about people’s claims of ‘other’ ways to know God.
