VISITATION
MINISTRY
Mission Statements: Taken from the great commission found in
Matt. 28: 18-20 and also Jesus' admonition to all saints in
caring for one another found in Matt.25:35-36
This Ministry meets weekly and does several kinds of visits
which includes the following:
1. ENCOURAGEMENT VISITS: designed to lift up and
encourage those who may be weak in the Faith and who may be
dealing with some challenges in their daily Christian walk.
2. BEREAVEMENT VISITS: This visit is designed to give
support to families who are
Grieving as a results of having the recent loss of a family
member.
3. SICK VISITATION: These visits are made in individual
homes, care homes and hospitals so as to lend our support,
prayers, encouragement and assistance during times of illness
and periods of recovery.
4. HOME BIBLE STUDIES: Weekly visitors to our services
are given a copy of the sermon of the day and offered an in home
Bible study free of charge. This team volunteers it's services
in conducting these one-on-one home Bible studies.
* In addition to these visits we have a quarterly fellowship
among the team members and spend
Time eating but also discuss ways in which we can improve our
serve for greater effectiveness.
Periodically this Ministry does some community door-knocking
locally [in search of home bible study opportunities] and we
assist other Congregations when called upon.
