Lift Up JesusLove PeopleLead The World What do we expect? Every member vs. Servant member

Lift Up JesusLove PeopleLead The World What do we expect? Every member: Give the church at least 4 hours per week! Servant member: Give the church at least 5 to 6 hours per week!

Lift Up JesusLove PeopleLead The World What do we expect? Based on a 168 hour week: For “every member” 34% 24% 40% 2%

Lift Up JesusLove PeopleLead The World What do we expect? You might be saying: “We are setting the standards too low!” We believe that the church is as guilty as any other organization in playing a role in the division of the family! SIMPLIFY! If we could just get “every member” to give 4 hours per week, we would be busting at the seams!
