Ministry Opportunity Guide Introduction

Dear Friend in Christ, 

The vision of our ministry here at Epiphany is to “connect the world to Jesus one disciple at a time.” Our prayer is that this Ministry Opportunity Guide assists you in getting more profoundly and passionately connected to God’s purpose for you at this moment. 

• You might be a visitor to our congregation. We hope this booklet can give you a quick overview of what discipleship looks like here at Epiphany, and what the future could hold for you. 

• You might be a brand new disciple. We pray that this guide can help you discern which ministry might be the most meaningful “next step” for you at Epiphany. 

• You might be a long time disciple. Perhaps you are prayerfully discerning a new direction in your walk with Christ. We pray that time with this booklet might stimulate some intriguing fresh possibilities. 

• You might be a ministry leader. With what other Epiphany teams and ministries might you partner? Who is working at something potentially complementary to your goals? We trust this resource will provide helpful links for your planning. 

Browsing through these pages excites me. So many disciples enacting so many forms of Christ’s love, ministry, and kingdom. Here we see what St. Paul described in Romans 12: “Just as each of our bodies has several parts and each part has a separate function, so all of us, in unison with Christ, form one body, and as parts of it we belong to each other.” Our gifts, our passions, our ministries are different—but together, we form the body of Christ. Together, we’re at work, connecting to Jesus! 

So may this Ministry Opportunity Guide be a blessing to you! May the Holy Spirit guide you in your discernment of how and with whom to get connected to what Jesus might have you do.
