Models of Ministry

This week, in the study at the Rockbridge course, we will be observing, analyzing, and applying in new ways, models of ministry. We will discuss the minister as priest, slave, and steward. We can see modeling of all three of these aspects of ministry in the life of Jesus and the apostles. We will also see how these terms have taken on different meanings throughout history, and then we will attempt to apply those terms to each Christian as he or she discovers his or her own personal ministry.

This course is about ministers/pastors (in the traditional sense of the word) being equippers of the people of God. The empowered people then do the work of ministry. When this takes on in a church, exciting things begin to happen.
