Where Can I Serve?
Jesus told us, his disciples, to make disciples of all nations. One of the most important values of this church is our mission to the world. It begins in our own community, and spreads overseas to every nation. Church members are involved in a variety of ministries from things as simple as washing the church vehicles, to preparing the church bulletins.
Discipleship Ministry
This ministry is designed to greet and follow up with our visitors. This ministry also helps to acclimate new members into Life Restoration Church. Discipleship ministry functions with patience, love, encouragement, and knowledge as it encourages servitude and fellowship.
Hospitality Ministry
The position of our greeters is one of the most important positions at Life Restoration Church. First impressions are lasting impressions and they mean everything. Our goal is to share a kind word, open a door, offer a handshake or just lend a helping hand to people as they enter our church. These simple acts of kindness say a lot about our church and God’s people.
Pastoral Care Ministry
The Pastoral Care ministry is responsible for helping the Senior Pastor oversee care of God’s people. This involves visitations during hospital stays, bereavement of the current members/families, and nursing home visits. Recognizing that our Pastor can’t attend to everyone at once, this ministry was executed as an extension of him. Our goal is to ensure prayer, support, and acts of kindness continue to flow through Life Restoration Church, and the Pastoral care team on behalf of our Pastor.
Jesus Crew (Children’s Church)
Jesus Crew children’s ministry works cohesively to navigate children toward God. Our goal is to aid in their spiritual development and help them cultivate positive and healthy relationships among their peers using biblical principles. With each lesson, they will begin to develop a better understanding of who God is, as well as gaining knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Every lesson is based solely from the word of God through interactive bible stories, open discussion, videos, arts, crafts, games and much more. In addition, as we introduce them to God, we will reinforce and introduce Godly instruction as it pertains to discipline, manners, and mutual respect.
Media Ministry
The purpose is to “serve the church by providing comprehensive media services for church events.” Church events can include Sunday morning worship, special services, youth events, choir festivals, congregational meetings and other gatherings. Use media outlets to help the Pastor and the church to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The media ministry team has a wide variety of responsibilities. During worship services or other large events, they run the sound board for the worship, band, singers and the pastor. If PowerPoint or other media concepts are used, the media team sets up all necessary equipment to ensure continuity. The media ministry is responsible for recording sermons and bible lessons. In addition, the media team is responsible for:
• Social Media (Facebook, LRC App and any other related media vehicle that will spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ).• Graphic design and all branding for the church• Website updates and design
• Video display and live stream
Ushers Ministry
In the Old Testament, there were positions addressed as “Doorkeepers” or “
Gatekeepers“, and their roles were very similar.(2 Kings 22:4) (1 Chronicles 9:17-27) (Psalms 84:10). In modern times, the church usher has many duties. Depending on the church’s denomination, size, and preferences, ushers may perform all, some, or a few of the following: though it is common for attendees to seat themselves. Ushers give the first impression of the church to visitors. The primary responsibility of an usher is to greet everyone as they arrive at the church and as they enter the sanctuary. They can also escort guests to their seats, if assistance is needed. This position is very important in the church. We want each member or guest to feel welcome at all times.
LRC Music Ministry
This ministry has an important role within Life Restoration Church. The LRC Music Ministry is designed to usher in the presence of God, through music. It is the responsibility of the music ministry to invoke fellowship through song. The songs of the Lord bring us closer in worship. The mission of our music team (singers and band) is to worship God in spirit and in truth!
Outreach Ministry
To support hunger relief in the community (families or individuals) with sustainable goods (non-perishable food items) to meet their needs. Also provide food directly to those in need by collecting and distributing non-perishable food items from our pantry. Volunteers pick and package the items selected by the patron from a customized LRC grocery list. This ministry serves the community every 4th Saturday of the month. Our congregants have 24 hour access to the pantry. We also pray for those that are in need as their grocery list is being filled.
Kingdom Men Ministry
Kingdom men provides a safe place, as well as male oriented sessions for those who are looking to become the man that God is calling for. Matt. 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. The word “light” used in this scripture is referenced metaphorically as to God being the light. Also it’s a reflection of truth and knowledge used together with spiritual purity. We encourage men to allow God to shine through them, in order to teach other men how to do the same. We help (through teaching and open dialogue) men of God how to be accountable and integral. Kingdom men also creates forums/sessions to teach/show men how to become Fathers and Husbands through the word. Developmental sessions and open forums encourage men to safely discuss their issues while collectively resolve them. We offer men’s Bible study, outings, encouragement, and partner with other organizations to help build Kingdom Men.
Pastoral Planning Committee
This ministry is designed to help our Pastor create, plan and execute events as well as special programs for the church. This group is handpicked to execute the plans/events meticulously, as to ensure its success. The team works from beginning to end on each project to ensure our Pastors vision becomes a reality.
