At the present time many of the Enterprise pairs are studying with people who visited on Friend Day. The Enterprise has given us the structure and accountability we desperately needed if we were going to be serious about evangelism. I was forced to postpone the composition of this article to witness a late-night baptism resulting from one of these studies. Focusing on church growth brings us to our knees as we are reminded of what really matters in ministry. Involvement Principles Involving a greater percentage of our members in meaningful ministry is both perplexing and challenging.
New members receive a personal follow-up visit and interview concerning involvement opportunities.
This includes filling out a Ministry Talent Sheet. An annual ministry fair was begun last year to showcase ministries and give members an opportunity to complete a talent inventory. We have met much of our success in the area of involvement by focusing on the obvious but often neglected ideas. We are always searching for ministry opportunities that would suit a particular member. This has taken a lot of teamwork and attention to the needs of each member.
