There are numerous minstries available to our members to serve. Upon completion of "CLASS 301 - Discovering My Ministry", members are eligible to participate in ministry according to their areas of giftedness. Ministries at Greater Shiloh are divided into the following five purposes:

Discipleship

Discipleship is one of the five purposes under which our church is governed. Discipleship means to become a mature believer of Christ that is marked by "cross-bearing" (whatever it takes to give Christ first place in your life). As taught in CLASS 201 - Discovering Spiritual Maturity, four habits of discipleship are:

• Time With God's Word
• Prayer
• Tithing
• Fellowship

Evangelism

Evangelism is another one of the five purposes under which our church is governed. Evangelism is sharing the good news of Christ with the world.

Fellowship

Fellowship is another of the five purposes under which our church is governed. Fellowship is defined as participating in God's family. Fellowship is so important for the following reasons:

• I belong in God's family with other believers - Galatians 6:10
• I need encouragement to grow spiritually - Hebrews 10:24
• I need accountability to grow spiritually - Proverbs 27:17
• Christ is present when we fellowship together - Mathew 18:20
• There is power when people pray together - Matthew 18:19
• Fellowship is a witness to the world - John 17:21
• I am obligated to every other christian - 1 Peter 4:10

Ministry

Ministry is another one of the five purposes under which our church is governed. Ministry is using whatever God has given me to serve him and the needs of others. At Greater Shiloh we minister to people's physical needs, people's emotional needs, and people's spiritual needs. We should make ministry a priority for the following reasons:

• I've been created for Ministry - Ephesians 2:10
• I've been saved for Ministry - 2 Timothy 1:9
• I've been called into Ministry - Ephesians 4:1
• I've been gifted for Ministry - 1 Peter 4:10
• I've been authorized for Ministry - 2 Corinthians 5:20
• I'm commanded to Ministry - Matthew 20:28
• I'm to be equipped for Ministry - Ephesians 4:11-12
• The body of Christ needs my Ministry - 1 Corinthians 12:27
• I am accountable for my Ministry - Matthew 25:14-30
• I will be rewarded for my Ministry - Colossians 3:23-24

Worship

Worship is another of the five purposes under which our church is governed. God loved us so much that he gave his only son to die for us. Worship is our way of loving God back.
