Markesan I Princeton Emmanuel

“The Holy Spirit graciously gives ministry abilities, “spiritual gifts,” so that every Christian can make a valued contribution to the health of the whole body. The church actually operates as the body of Christ when each person seeks to know and function in accord with their role assigned by God” (Greg Ogden, Discipleship Essentials)

Service Opportunity for you

Are you a minister in the name of Jesus Christ? Yes, we are! As a baptized member of our church, we vowed before God, “We will faithfully participate and support its ministry by our prayer, our presence, our gifts, OUR SERVICE and our witness”. Ministry is doing small things, in other words, serving! However, as we do small things serving within our church, we are making a link in the chain of someone coming to faith in Jesus Christ! If one person finds eternal salvation, it is not so small. And we are always part of this as we serve!
