Equipping Ministries


Equipping Ministry

• Is not a program. It is a way of doing and being the Church.
• Is the Churches effort to build systems and train leaders to identify people’s gifts and ministry needs, connect them into service according to their gifts, equip them, and recognize their service.
• Prepares people to understand their gifts and live out their calling in every area of their lives, with their family, in the church, in their community or in the world.

Equipping Ministry Values
• Prayer
• Priesthood of all believers, all are gifted to serve (Ephesians 4)
• Servant Leadership
• Team Building
• Intentionality
• Cultural change

How does Equipping Ministry serve Calvary’s Mission? We:

INVITE
To present a welcoming and warm atmosphere to all who enter our church by sharing ourselves with them and affirming their presence with us.

INSPIRE
To share through worship, prayer, the Word, sacraments, Bible studies and small groups God’s love through our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

EQUIP
To receive persons into membership, pray for them, share the gifts of compassion, assist them through a Discovery process to identify their God-given gifts and to provide support and training in the work of the church.

ENGAGE
To connect persons into ministry in a very intentional way that makes them feel welcomed, informed and accepted.

We do this by using Equipping Ministry processes:
• Welcome
• Nurture
• Discovery
• Connection
• Affirmation
• Prayer
• Administration
• Systems
