What's GLBC Ministry Experience?
Immanuel Velasco • May 22, 2024
Knowledge about God's character invites and demands a response. Our Ministry Experience Credits help students to better serve.
Each four-month term, students take opportunities to gain practical ministry experience through serving in their home and other local congregations.
Students design projects from the four main areas of Jesus’ ministry from the Bible outlined in our Ministry Experience Syllabus, and related ideas they have generated, that have immediate impacts and practical benefits in the congregations they serve and in growth of their God-given gifts and skills:
Here are 9 great examples of real four-month ministry experiences- GLBC students serving in real situations with their congregations, etc.
- Calling every church member during the pandemic and offering spiritual encouragement and practical assistance
- Preparing and Preaching sermons for home and local congregations needing help
- Preparing and teaching Bible classes for home and local congregations needing help
- Creating Bible lessons and projects for parents to use at home to teach their children during the pandemic
- Working with teens to provide Biblical answers to their tough questions
- Demographic study of a congregation’s town to identify needs which lead to starting a life-recovery ministry
- Internal study of a congregation’s gifts and abilities to empower outreach to the church’s community
- Renewing a Congregation
- Part 1: helping a congregation with an older demographic who want to be effective in their community by interviewing members and identifying 12 practical feasible ministries
- Part 2: Helping the congregation implement the ministries identified in Part 1
- Developing and posting Scriptural messages on social media to engage with young people needing to learn about God and the truth, salvation and relationship He offers in Jesus
