About Us Womens Minis-Tree
Welcome to the Women's MINIS-TREE of Lincroft Bible Church!"For because of our faith, He has brought us into this place of highest privilege where we now stand, and we confidently and joyfully look forward to actually becoming all He has had in mind for us to be." Romans 5:2
Women's MINIS-TREE
If you picture a tree, it will help you to better understand the various areas of ministry and specific opportunities for spiritual growth and fellowship available to you as a woman here at LBC. The tree is a perfect illustration of the organizational plan for achieving our goals. We begin with the root system of the tree which is made up of the Pastors and Deacons. They are the authority structure and spiritual overseers of the entire tree. The trunk of the tree supports the branches and twigs. It consists of a committee of women who oversee the functioning and growth of the tree. There are four branches which represent areas of ministry. On each branch are several twigs that define specific activities which take place.| Women's MINIS-TREE Goals Goal 1: To develop areas of ministry which will enable each woman in our church to have a deeper, closer walk with Christ. (Phil. 3:20) Goal 2: To help women understand their God-given responsibilities toward their husbands and families. (Titus 2:3-5) Goal 3: To challenge women to become involved in some facet of ministry; to provide opportunities for each woman to serve; and to equip women to use their spiritual gifts effectively. (Eph. 4:12) Goal 4: To identify needs and develop plans to meet them. (Gal. 5:13b) Goal 5: To organize all the women's ministries in order to serve one another, benefit the entire church, and reach out to the world. (1 Cor. 14:40) |
