to serve and know your church and its practices. There are many
opportunities for this through the church’s ministry programs.
Every member is expected to become actively involved in our
Sunday School, and our Bible study.
II Timothy 2:15
2. Witnessing
A Christian is always desirous that others will come to know
Jesus Christ. We are God’s ambassadors; therefore our lives
should always represent him. The church offers opportunities
for witnessing through various ministries, including our
evangelistic ministry, and gives training to this end. Jesus says
“We are His witnesses.” Christ is made known to others by us.
Share Christ, by becoming a soul winner!
Proverbs 11:30
3. Praying
Prayer is a vital part of Christian living. All Christians should
learn how to pray in order that their lives may experience
many benefits and blessings. Joining with others in prayer
forwards a great spirit and stimulus. The evangelistic
ministry will assign each new member a prayer partner.
4. Worshipping
Worship keeps the soul of Pleasant Hill alive. You should
regularly attend all worship services and be faithful. You
should be reverent at all times in worship. Remember,
you are worshipping God.
Hebrews 10:25
5. Serving
The pastor cannot do the work of the church alone. He needs others
to help him. All members are an extension of the Pastoral ministry.
There are many ways of helping, such as ushering, singing in the
choir, teaching Sunday School Class, and holding an office in the
church by being a ministry leader. Remember, you are serving Christ
and not the pastor. God gives reward for your work not your idleness.
6. Giving
If Christians can be taught to live, surrendered, believing, obedient,
and glorious lives the money problem of the Lord’s work will be
taken care of very easily. We, at Pleasant Hill practice, preach
and teach that tithes and offerings are the only Biblical method
to support financially the ministry of this church. Christian
giving is a grace of God. Giving the Biblical way is a joyous part
of our worship. One’s giving grows as spiritual development
and material prosperity takes place through obedience. God
loves the person who is glad to give (a hilarious giver).
II Corinthians 9:7
