“It was He who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare God’s people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith.” Ephesians 4:11-13

At Redlands Church of the Nazarene,
we believe that ministry is using whatever God has given us to serve him and the needs of others.
We minister in 3 directions:
To the Lord,
To believers and
To non-believers.
We seek to achieve this goal by fulfilling God’s 5 purposes for the church to:
Communicate God’s work,
Care for God’s family,
Celebrate God’s presence,
Educate God’s people and
Demonstrate God’s love.
|
Allow God to shape you into His ministry through your Spiritual gifts, Heart, Abilities, Personality, and Experiences.
