MINISTRY OBJECTIVE

My ministry objective is twofold, 1. To serve God in any way He sees fit. 2. To serve others in any way that I can. My goal when teaching or preaching the Bible is to present it in a way that that can be applied in everyday life. I strongly believe that until you apply God’s principles in your life, then those principles never really become real to you. That would explain my goal for everyone I have ministry to, making God and His values real. I believe that every person has value, therefore I have always been able to minister to any age, race, or gender. I do whatever is allowed by God to reach others with the gospel, and to cultivate growth in them in Christ. I also believe that God has a plan, ministry for every Christian and it is my job as a Pastor to assist them in God’s purpose. Finally, I believe every successful Christians practice four activities in their lives: 1. Read their Bible every day. 2. Personal prayer time every day. 3. Go to church every week. 4. Do good things for others every day. I constantly stress these four activities in my teaching and my counseling.
