Want to know more about service at LifeBridge? Then you've come to the right page! At LifeBridge, we believe your service is your ministry. Thus when you are involved in serving you are actually ministering, which means you are a "minister." Does that surprise you? Here's what the Bible says:

“[God] has given... pastors and teachers [to the church] to prepare God's people for works of ministry, so the body of Christ may be built up.” Ephesians 4: 11-12 

When most people hear the word minister, they automatically think about a pastor or missionary. But those aren't the only persons who are ministers. The truth is, if you are a Christian, YOU TOO are a minister! God wants to use you in ministry to build up His body--the church. That's the purpose of ministry. God wants every believer (Christian) to be a body builder—a spiritual body builder. But you may ask, "Why should I be involved in ministry?" 

The Bible gives us several reasons:

1. You've been created for ministry. “For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” Ephesians 2:10 (NIV)

2. You’ve been gifted for ministry. “Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms.” 1 Peter 4:10 (NIV)

3. You are commanded to minister. Jesus said, “Your attitude must be like my own, for I, the Messiah, did not come to be served, but to serve." Matthew 20:28 (Living Bible)

4. You will be rewarded for your ministry. “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward.” Colossians 3:23-24 (NIV)
“Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your Master’s happiness!” Matthew 25:23 (NIV)

At LifeBridge, our ministry teams are essential to our health and growth as a church. But ministry is also essential to your health and growth as a Christian. We want to see every person involved in a ministry. If you're not already involved, one of the best ways to get started is to listen to the message from Philip Thurman titled, "I Can." It will challenge and inspire you to serve. Simply click here to listen.

Then, check out the "I Can" ministry brochure and look at places where you would be interested in serving. We WON'T overload you with things to do, but by considering several options it will help us know one or two places where your willingness to serve can help build up the body at LifeBridge. You can print out the brochure if you want. And after you look over the opportunities you can complete the "I Can" response card and drop it in the offering basket on Sunday or give it to someone on the leadership team.
