Impact Ministry

Have you been tasked with starting a ministry team at your church or place of worship? Have you inherited an existing team that needs a leader? Do you feel like you are running in circles or feeling burned out executing tasks weekend after weekend? Leading a ministry at church requires more than showing up on Sundays. Whether you are leading a safety or security ministry or another key component in your church’s operations, your leadership must be built on a solid Biblical foundation.

When we really love something, we talk about it. This is true when find a great new restaurant, enjoy a sports team, or when we stumble onto a fantastic new product. We want to share the joy and tell others. We naturally “evangelize” and invite others to experience what we have found...

How will your life now, even though you are saved, effect your eternity? Many believers, despite inheriting eternal life, will be weeping on the first day of heaven. When we grasp how the Lord wants us to be rewarded we will live in a radically different way. We know that we will all stand before the Lord’s loving judgment seat, but what exactly will happen? What are the rewards? Surely heaven itself is enough?

Men of Influence teaches you the importance of mentoring, how to find a good mentor, and what you can offer others as a mentor (even if you don't feel qualified).

More than three billion people in the world have never heard the Gospel - not even once. But who cares? To many American Christians, these statistics about “unreached” people seem too unbelievable to take seriously. How could anyone in this day and age not have heard of Jesus? We assume that people don’t believe in Jesus because they don’t want to - that they’ve had the opportunity and have chosen a different path. We want you to know the people around the world who don’t know Jesus.

History has shown that great leaders have the ability to reach beyond the walls of their churches to influence cultures for Christ.

When you hear the word style, you usually think of fashion. But there is much more to style than the clothes we wear. People are different and look at situations differently. These distinctions influence opinions and behaviors producing a variety of styles. Learning about your styles and the styles of others can increase happiness, generate success, and reduce conflict in your life. Discovering your personal style can help you understand why you do certain things, why you react in particular ways, and why others act the way they do.

Are you a shadow Christian? Shadow Christians are people who work in the margins, in the shadows created by the spotlight shining on others. We often think they - we - are insignificant. But here’s the good news: God chooses and uses shadow Christians.

But God gave us another chance. We are now experiencing the reality of a marriage on mission. This is our story.

All around us, we can see that the church is in serious need of a renewed sense of awe for God.
