A Week of “Wow!”

Posted by admin on Oct 5th, 2009 in Equipping

Author: Pastor Gary Jarvis

I think that, in the life of the church, there are weeks that make you go, “Whooooa!” Those weeks seem to be far and few between here at New Hope; rather I have noticed us having a lot of, “Wow!” weeks, and this week is a big, “Wow!” week. Here are a few things that make me go “Wow!” New Hope is on the move!

Church Multiplication Team met for the first time to start the process of planting other churches.
Our New Online Community (Directory) was launched.
Ministry Leaders started a training called, “LeaderShift” to help give them better tools to lead their ministries.

The Biggest Wow of the week is “Faith in Action.” I believe Faith in Action can be a catalyst to help spur our small groups to continue planning quarterly service projects in the community.

What a “Wow!” Week, and it is all because of you… New Hope Community Church .

Equipping Mission

Providing personal, relational, Christ-Centered growth through ministry in the church, community, world, and the whole of life.

Equipping Vision

Leaders are relieved of their burdens as they encounter God. They feel free to learn, share, and take action. They are astonished by their growth through lessons, reflection, and peer interaction. They can't wait to get out there and serve their ministries. With boldness they lead the charge over their ministries, their own personal growth, and the ministry growth of those they lead.

The Equipping Process

1. Calling - We help Christ's servants find their God-given shape and vision in ministry.
2. Connecting - We connect Christ's servants to a meaningful place of service and make them a part of the team.
3. Coaching - We walk alongside Christ's servants as they serve to maximize growth and fruit.
4. Changing - We help people make changes in their life to ensure they are in alignment with Christ's call.
