Most churches do a good job of emphasizing and even chastising followers to make a commitment to serve. Where we fail is in helping members to find a place of ministry, to become involved, to become empowered, and to become equipped to serve. Here are some things to consider:
- Can a new member or even a well-seasoned member become involved in service through the church easily? Can they really?
- Evaluate how you invite members to become involved in service.
- Develop a plan that begins with helping every new member understand the opportunities, the expectations, and the process for serving.
- Continue the process with an ongoing system that challenges adults to make commitments to and become equipped for service.
