Church Is a Verb

Posted by Posted by Kirk Bowman On 9:05 AM


Church is a verb, not a noun. Church isn’t something we go to – a noun. Church is something we are, and do – a verb.

So this Sunday we’re going to have a Volunteer Fair. It’s an opportunity for our church to see all the areas they can participate in and just sort of scan all that’s going on. It helps people know where they can plug in to involvement.

We decided a few years ago to upgrade our whole volunteer culture. This Volunteer Fair is one part of that upgrade.

We also started to define a length of service – one year at a time (called Full Serve). Then people can re-enlist or change areas of serving after their year if they want. This helps people from feeling like they have to commit to a lifetime of being in the 2 year old class.

We also instituted a First Serve idea- letting people check things out without an upfront commitment.

If you are a part of our church family, I want to invite you to check out our Volunteer Fair this Sunday.

The best way to feel like you are a part of a church family is to get involved – and be an active part.

    If you feel "apart", chances are it's because you're not"a part"! Sincere servantship is a covenant with GOD, not man. The same as a daily digest of the Word and a constant state of prayer, serving GOD positions you in the unfailing promise of GOD to reveal His HOLY SPIRT.
