Ways Of Achieving Better Christian Education Ministries

By Annabelle Holman


Smaller churches possess effective and lively Christian education programs. Some churches though do remain small for wrong reasons. It is tragic when a church remains small in a location where population is blossoming. A small church in a low populated area can be effective than many large churches. Christian education ministries are committed to working with its members to assist them to turn into devoted and obedient disciples of Jesus. The following are ways that churches can maintain lively Christian ministries.

Clarifying the mission, vision and values of the cathedral. The mission states the reason behind the existence a a church. The vision states what the church intends to achieve. A church which has this in mind will strategize on how to achieve them. This is what will make believers to forego the bad habits and stick to the mission. It will make members will possess the right values.

Create procedures of making disciples. There must be a purpose and procedure of making disciples. This is simply because the church has the responsibility of helping its members to use the Word to ensure strong and mature followers. They should also be assisted in discovering and growing their gifts through the knowledge of the bible.

Ensuring that you relate well with the believers. You need to liaise with the members closely. You should easily mark the sinful acts and correct them. Shrewd leaders always welcome the guests that come to their cathedrals. You are then required to incorporate these guests to see to it that their desires are fulfilled.

Mentor leaders. The pastor should spend time mentoring and training the capable leaders. Training is most effective in small churches. The pastor has the leading role to see that this happens. He will ensure that these promising leaders attend the training opportunities that arise. It is also possible to divide them in team setting involving experienced teachers because the number is small.

Involve people in ministering. Most likely that more people will play an active participation in a cathedral that is relatively small. The pastor must be determined and committed to aid such believers to realize and nature the gifts and capabilities they posses. This should not only concern the adults. Children should be helped to realize them when they are still young. Opportunities can be created regardless of the number of believers in a cathedral.

Building the ministry on principles that are already proven. There is no shortcut for making the cathedral to be productive. It is inevitable to achieve any goals without involving God. No cathedral can be able to overcome demonic power without involving Him. Neither can it succeed in helping people change their bad habits and destructive thinking. Faith, prayer and empowerment is what that can enable the believers to transform the lives of believers.

Finally, promote active participation of the believers. Every follower who wants grow as a disciple requires being involved in the study and also application of the Word. Opportunities should be created to involve more people irrespective of their age. It would be better if the church is able to discover the assets that it posses. A plan should be laid out on strategizing on how to maximize those assets.
