301 Discovering My Ministry

This class is the third of Real Life Family Center's three basic classes. Since
these classes build on each other, you must first attend Discovering Spiritual Maturity #201 before taking this class.

INTRODUCTION

1. My ministry is determined by my shape.
What God made me to be determines what He intends for me to DO. I will understand the purpose I was created for when I understand the kind of person I am. This is the secret of knowing God's will for my life! God is consistent in His plan for each of our lives. He would not give us inborn talents and temperaments, spiritual gifts, and all sorts of life experiences and then not use them! By reviewing and studying these factors, we can discover the ministry God has for you... the unique way God intends for you to serve Him.

At RLFC, we focus on an individual approach to ministry rather than an institutional approach.

2. RLFC's ministry is determined by God's purposes and the needs of our congregation.
