Ministry Structure

The four ministry areas — worship, fellowship, discipleship, outreach — provide a framework for Christians to reach out to believers and nonbelievers in an intentional, planned manner. By organizing our church's resources around these four ministry areas, and recognizing their interconnectedness, we can more be a more relevant, effective agent of change. The goal of our church's ministry is to serve and equip people as the Holy Spirit calls them into increasing maturity in the Christian faith.

Integrating these four ministries into every aspect of Immanuel's church life is an important process and one that will be implemented during several years of praying, preparing, implementing, evaluating and revising. The ministries must be reflected in programming, scheduling, budgeting and staffing.

The circular relationship we recognize in our ministries, and how they fulfill our relationship with Jesus Christ, is illustrated in the figure below.
