SERVE AT REDEEMER
CONTRIBUTOR OR CONSUMER?
A lot of Christians don’t spend time thinking about how they can serve their church family. Many don’t even know what their spiritual gifts are and how they can use them. At Redeemer we believe in every member ministry. This means that our goal is to have every member and regular attender of Redeemer engaged in serving one another.
In his letter to the Ephesians, Paul said that the reason the Lord has gifted the church with spiritual leaders is so that they will “equip the saints for the work of ministry.” In other words the work of ministry isn’t just for pastors and spiritual leaders but for everyone!
