Ephesians 4:16 NLT
“Under his direction, the whole body is fitted
together perfectly. As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love.”
TEAM Ministry Vision
When we say “TEAM Ministry” we mean that God is calling us to work together in ministry for His kingdom. Everyone may not be a leader, but everyone can be a minister. To minister is to serve and as Christians that is what we are ultimately called to be.
Together we make a bigger impact. Together our individual efforts are multiplied. Together we have support and accountability. Together we have shared responsibility and shared rejoicing.
TEAM Ministry means doing it together!
