Joining together in God's ongoing, redemptive mission.
Well-trained lay ministry leaders will be indispensable as we move forward with joining together in God’s ongoing redemptive mission. Starting April 7 we will have a four-session course explaining how leaders will be helping to implement our philosophy of disciple making.
Did God really intend for us to be relational beings? Is it OK if I just engage the church as a spectator or consumer? Did God intend for the church to be a school room where people sit and learn about God?
Lately, we have been talking about what it means to do relational discipleship at the Hershey Free Church. Relational discipleship means a philosophical shift in ministry thinking and priorities.
For us to take our faith “beyond Sunday,” it’s God design that we should be in healthy relationships with others. It’s through the give and take of healthy relationships that our faith is stretched, our blind spots are exposed, and our character is shaped in meaningful ways.
In an effort to help connect people to God and one another we are designing Life Groups that promote a climate where the possibility exists for Christian community to come to life. We are creating places where belonging and spiritual growth are the norm and not the exception.
