Thoughts on serving

I'm learning some stuff about serving and creating a serving-system at Hub City. I just thought I'd share a few key beliefs that we hold about serving.
  1. Every attender is a minister and ministry is serving.
  2. Serving is the act of putting the needs of others before my needs.
  3. The goal of serving is to help people become like Christ.
  4. You cannot become like Christ unless you are serving.
  5. Serving opens people's hearts to God and therefore is an act of worship.
  6. If a person isn't serving they aren't truly worshiping and growing in their faith.
  7. Mobilizing people for ministry is part of discipleship.
  8. The role of the pastor (me) is to equip people for ministry.
