| This
class is the third of IFCC’s five basic classes. Since
these classes build on each other it is required that you
first attend Discovering My Membership #101 and Discovering
Spiritual Maturity #201 before taking this class. We are
convinced that you must first be committed to membership
in a church family and committed to the habits for spiritual
maturity before you are ready for ministry. Membership and
Maturity are the foundation for Ministry.
“(God) has given...pastors and teachers to prepare
God’s people for works of ministry, so the body of
Christ may be built up. Eph. 4:11-12
The Bible Says:
The Pastors are the shepherds.
The People are the sheep.
MY MINISTRY IS DETERMINED BY MY MAKEUP!
What God made me to BE determines what He intends for
me to DO. I will understand the purpose I was created for
when I understand the kind of person I am. This is the
secret of knowing God’s will for my life!
God is consistent in His plan for each of our lives. He
would not give us inborn talents and temperaments, spiritual
gifts, and all sorts of life experiences and then not use
them! By reviewing and studying these factors, we can discover
the ministry God has for us...the unique way God intends
for us to serve Him.
The two results of discovering the ministry I’ve
been shaped for are: faithfulness and fulfillment.
At IFCC, we focus on an individual approach to ministry
rather than an institutional approach.
We will focus on Five Personal Factors that have combined
to shape the “real” you. By identifying the
specific traits you possess in each of these areas, the
ministry God has designed you for will become crystal clear!
