The Right People...In the Right Places...For the Right Reasons
Now the body is not made of one part, but many. If the whole body were an eye where would the sense of hearing be?...The head cannot say to the feet 'I don't need you.'...The eye cannot say to the hand 'I don't need you'.
Most believers want to serve. Most believers know they should serve. But many believers don't know how they can best serve. That is the purpose of our Network minstry. Network has been created to assist you in the identification of your God-given passion, spiritual gifts and personal style, so that you can make your unique contribution in a meaningful place of service. Do you know where that is for you? Really? Just at the human body cannont function properly unless the eyes, ears, and hands each do their part, so the body of Christ, the church, cannot function as God intended without each believer doing their part. When you do, you will build lasting relationships, making a Kingdom difference with your life. Discover who God has made you to be!
Step One -- Discovery Sessions: What is my God-given shape?
Network's Discovery Sessions have been carefully designed to help you better understand who God has made you to be. Discover the purpose of the church and your unique role within it. With a simple approach and proven tools, these Discovery Sessions will guide you to a greater fulfillment of God's will for your life. Building upon a Biblical foundation, practical insights are developed through a variety of presentations using videos, slides, and small group interaction. You'll discover: Your God-given Passion -- indicates where you should serve! Your God-given Spiritual Gifts -- indicates what you should do! Your God-given Personal Style -- indicates how you should serve! Together, they indicate your Servant Profile and what you do best in the body of Christ! You will find helpful charts and assessments to assist you in you personal understanding and growth - plus insights into the fallacies and pitfalls that hinder your effectiveness. Each Network Discovery Session participant is supported through prayer. We seek to assist you in your desire to serve through Keystone. This begins one of the most significant journeys in you walk with Jesus Christ!
Step Two -- Consultation: How do I fit in?
Following the identification of your passion, spiritual gifts, and personal style (Servant profile) through Network's Discovery Sessions, you will have the opportunity to visit with a trained Network Consultant. They will assist you in connecting who God has made you to be with appropriate ministry needs and opportunities in the church or community. You can discuss the various ministries and learn about ministry positions available here at West Jackson Baptist Church. There is one for you! Network exists as a ministry to serve you. As we consider your Servant Profile, we also need to consider your stage in life. This important step will encourage you and identify appropriate ministry involvements.
Step Three -- Service: Making my Unique contribution!
The goal of the Network ministry is service. We have been told to "serve on another through love" (Galatians 5:13). Serving for the believer is not optional. Do you know where or how you can best serve? Then Network is for YOU!
