Student Ministry Team Mission Statement

This is a group of students who meet together weekly to discuss, pray over, and advocate for injustices around the world. As of first semester of sophomore year I have been one of the leaders of this group; through this, God has opened my eyes and broken my heart for victims of abuse, violence, and injustice in the world. I believe that God desires for our hearts to be broken for what breaks his heart, not just so we hurt, but so we wake up and help those who hurt. This is where my passion for nonprofit ministry lies, I hope to help those who are hurting; exactly what profession or ministry that will take me to, I am not sure, but I have full confidence that God will lead me to the right ministry when he sees fits.

I am a student who is beginning the second semester of the third year at the Lutheran Seminary at Gettysburg. I have discerned a call towards Word and Sacrament ministry and thus far have loved every minute of the time spent at the seminary. From the relationships with the professors to the education I receive in the classroom, working on campus and studying in the library, it is evident that God is at work in this place calling and sanctifying leaders to serve God’s church.

I am an open minded holiness Christian, who values the ability to an open mind when experiencing other dominations ways of worshipping my God. I attend Miracle temple Church under the fellowship of Pastor Jessie Meeks.

In my past educational and ministerial training, the focus of training was on the role of the minister. The role of the minister was to care and disciple the flock under his/her care. The focus of the minister was on the need of the church that he/she served. However, as an officer the focus of my ministry will be fulfilling the mission of The Salvation Army. The mission of The Army is the redemptive

In OMG: A Youth Ministry Handbook, Kendra Creasy Dean goes over several different ways on how to do youth ministry in today’s world. Through reading this book and evaluating Grace United Methodist Church, I have noticed several things that need to be fixed. One of the main things is the youth group lesson focus and the way the youth relate to one another.

mission is to educate youth in arts, and sciences and also to encourage fellowship with service

The thought simply occurred to him while driving home from church one morning: Why not pursue youth ministry? The question came with the understanding that he simply enjoyed working with those who were younger than him, helping them grasp topics concerning Christian spirituality. Returning to college the very next morning, Sean met with his academic advisor and decided to weave ministry classes into his schedule in order to double major in Intercultural Studies and Youth Ministry. Eventually this gave way to a full-fledged Christian Ministries major with a focus in youth ministry.

Students will analyze, investigate and demonstrate an understanding of how psychology, social conditioning, cultural influences and diverse environments impact spirituality and religion. The faculty will most likely have high academic degrees, significant ministry training and ample mission experience.

work being doing with and for the students at Western Theological Seminary can be further explained through this institution's stated “Identity Statement,” “Mission Statement,” and “Vision Statement” that can be found on the institution’s website.

God’s people have been gathered for restoration, empowerment and sent out into mission. The small group is the gathering space to help people experience forgiveness, healing, encouragement, affirmation, trust and courage. This preparation to be sent back out into a hostile and alienated world that needs to hear, see, and touch the presence of Jesus Christ lived out through empowered individuals and groups. The introduction of each chapter will reflect the healthy small group ministry of The BCC Exercise Ministry of my

2. What is their strategy for ministry? (What things does this ministry do to accomplish its purpose?) They build teens in personal relationship which is referred as 35tory lifestyle ministry. They guide and influence young students by connecting and making personal relationship. Their ministry strategies are aiming for its mission locally. To be specific, campus life for high school and middle school are ministries that helps students involve their schools

4. State your own theology of mission for the church, incorporating a statement on the way in which the church has “presence” in the world of a reconciling nature.

5.3 The ministry support group will consist of men and women from diverse background and denominations and status dealing with hidden issues with no one to confide in about their circumstances without being judged. They will verbally share information about themselves without being pressured. Hopefully, they will form a bond that cannot be broken and learn to lean on one another at any time.

The timeless axiom “out of sight, out of mind” readily applies to missional communities. Once the excitement of launching missional communities subsides, the church’s attention returns to the blur of activities in its buildings. Meanwhile, the missional community quickly captures all the attention of its leaders.

Furthermore, it is vitally crucial for the church leadership to clearly articulate its missional vision, which is to be embraced by the rest of the church’s community. The process of spiritual transformation starts from the invitation and continues through engagement and discipleship. This transformational process embodies the missional vision and the language for 'right now ' and 'here '. Surely, the church’s vision ought to be aligned with the missional attributes of the gospel itself, which are 'the good news is for everyone ' and 'belonging before believing '. Our witness should take place amidst relationship and listening. One principle that I consider to be exceptionally useful in my community is St. Patrick’s idea of Celtic Evangelism: establish community, engage in conversation, and invite commitment (2009, 101).
