THE CHURCH HOSPITALITY SMALLGROUPS SERVICE

The four doors Model has become our discipleship and evangelism plan to reach people with the Gospel.

The Church Door, Hospitality door, Small group door and Service door The Church Door, Hospitality door, Small group door and Service door. These four doors are the Gateway to seeing Restoration, Renewal and Revitalization.

Church: Many people today understand the church as a building Church: Many people today understand the church as a building. This is not a biblical understanding of the church. The church is the body of Christ—a group of people unified (Ephesians 4:1-3) under Christ, who represent and reflect Him to the world (1 Corinthians 12:12-17).

The purpose and door of the church is to join people of different backgrounds and talents and provide them training and opportunities for God's work. It accomplishes this both internally, within the body, and externally, in the world.

Hospitality: Christian hospitality, as given to us in the Bible, is a sacred process of 'receiving' outsiders and seeing them change from strangers to guests to family.

Every time we extend hospitality our intent is to invite strangers into a right relationship with God. Through this door we purposefully share Christ in words & action that can change a person's status before God from stranger to guest to Family member by the power of The Holy Spirit.

Small Groups: The focus of this ministry door is the overall mission of the church to “Connect people to God and people to people.” The goal is to help each member grow in his or her fullest potential in Christ.

Secondly our intent is to connect Pre- Christians to Christ In a small group were they will enjoy … Building new friendships. Opportunities to share life experiences. Asking Questions and Finding answers about spiritual matters.

Service: Service to others is an important characteristic of a disciple of Jesus Christ. A disciple is willing to bear other people’s burdens and to comfort those who need comfort.

The Door of service in our community gives us opportunities to lead those around us by living out what it means to follow Jesus and follow it up with the story of how Jesus changes our life.

We want to show it clearly ... and then share it boldly.
