Spiritual Gifts

The powerhouse of the C.A.R.E. ministry lies dormant in the pews of the church. Each believer is an untapped resource of gifts and abilities.  For many churches the problem revolves around inactivity among the congregation.  One of the struggles for the average minister today is finding ways to help members discover their God given gifts and involve more of the church body in active ministry.  It is a fact that every believer has been gifted by God to serve for His glory.  Each and every member is an important piece of the puzzle that makes up the true picture of how effective a caring church can be. In Matthew 28:19 the command is given to go.  It is a command given to every believer.  God wants us to be about going and as we go, we are to use our gifts to minister to those around us.  Along with the command to go, God has given gifts to His people to aid in carrying out His commission.  One of our jobs as ministers is to help our congregations discover their gifts and put those gifts into active use.  This is where the C.A.R.E. ministry will show itself valuable.  You will enable your people to see where they are gifted and also provide, for them, opportunities to use those gifts.  It is rather straightforward and hands on.  Find where you fit in and begin to C.A.R.E.!
