E4 Church Leadership Model
• As a reminder, the reason we chose E4 as the abbreviation for our new shared church leadership model is the message in Ephesians 4 to the early church: to Edify, Equip, Empower, and Evangelize.
• Please note that a visual of the new E4 Leadership Structure is on display on the Information Center, featuring the members of the E4 Leadership Council.
• For the last two weeks, we featured the UPREACH Ministry Areas – Worship and Spiritual Growth. This week will feature the INREACH/Discipleship Ministry Area.
• INREACH is focused on our horizontal relationship within our church family, including teaching, mentoring, youth programs, and church family care and fellowship.
o The Discipleship Ministry Area Team will be led by Bro. Bruce Sauder, with Bro. Andrew Rassi serving as the Minister Liaison.
o Members of the team include: Brothers Trent Kieser, Keith Schick, and Dane Zeller; Sisters Tressa Leman, Sandy Rassi, Janice Schick, and Sabrina Zeller.
o The charge for this team is to develop a culture of spiritual engagement and discipleship within our church family, with the following primary responsibilities: Discipleship Relationships, Young Group, Marriage Mentoring, and Accountability Relationships.
▪ Please be prayerful for these brothers and sisters as they assume this significant responsibility to enhance the second of our church’s 4-pillar mission – to nurture believers through spiritual engagement and discipleship.
