Welcome to the Economic Ministry Website!The Chinese symbol for "crisis" is the same symbol for "opportunity". We are in the middle of a financial crisis right now that will only get worse before it gets better. As Christians we have a mandate to minister to those in crisis in our churches and our communities. We are glad you came to this website for resources to help your church minister effectively during these hard economic times. It is our hope that this information will help you meet the needs of those in your church and community. In the following pages you will find information to help your church be aware of the needs facing people and practical tools to help meet those needs. How Your Church Can Use This Web SiteWe encourage your church to take a month to focus on the economic crisis and how you as a church will respond. Under the Biblical Foundations page you will find a four part sermon and Sunday School series designed to lead your church to a Scriptural foundation for ministering to people in crisis. Under the Minister Opportunities page your church can find practical ideas to minister to people in financial crisis and success stories from other NC Baptist churches. We also want to hear what is working at your church as you minister during these difficult times. Please take time to visit the What's Working page and share with us how God is working in your church. |
