Share on :

One of the cultures that the church put into action in molding of disciples is through providing the required education to believers. The involvement of the Christian education ministries is mainly driven to getting Christians nearer to Christ. What continues from this point is working together with persons and assisting them to be zealous and obey word of God. Sunday school ministry that is involved in almost all ministries aims at disciple making.

The church mission statement spells out reasons for existing while direction is stated in the vision. A worship place that has clearly defined mission and vision definitely comes up with investment strategies which make it possible to fulfil them. Members are able to express out the values that provide priorities to those who are lost, lead them into the light, and give them support to turn out devoted and mature Christians.

Those churches that are small in size have unique assets and features which need to be capitalized on so as to mold them into being effective in providing Christian education. Small church accountability, atmosphere of the family, and nature of participation all come under this category. After identification of the assets, the churches need to develop some strategies for maximum discipleship ministries.

The challenges resulting from many and intricate organization structures may be a hindrance to this small churches. They rather need structures that are simple and manageable for them to flourish. The various ministries tax an already limited human resource which is something that can be tragic. A structure that is simple, age grouped and departmentalized turns out to be ideal for the needs of a small congregation.

Small sized churches have a preference for relationships that are close and personal. Effective educational ministries that have less congregation do all their best to put individuals ahead of their programs. Teachers and workers also work to their best to ensure no one gets out unnoticed. Those leaders that are wise do ensure guest are properly welcomed, visitors are incorporated and people needs are catered for.

The church also depend on their pastors to provide mentorship to leaders who are aspiring besides attending leadership seminars. A training program on education consequently comes out as nonnegotiable with the pastor taking leadership position. He ensures all involved persons attend every opportunity on training that comes along. This idea of using trainers that are experienced to train teacher works ideally.

A brilliant opportunity results and gets aimed at achieving a big percentage of congregation to involve themselves actively in the ministry. Congregational value is achieved when the pastor shows some commitment to helping individuals get to identify on abilities and gifts they may have. Adapting a culture that is pervasive becomes ideal in developing kids gifts. An opportunity within the church will help in nurturing this.

The minor churches must never get a feeling of being intimidated or just inferior in their quest of pursuing discipleship. They ought to realize of the numerous advantages at their disposal. As the powers of Holy Spirit are equal to everyone, they should be confident and realize that power is also on their side. The thought of taking backseat for any person should never cross their mind and without a doubt disciple making will be very effective.
