TEAM MINISTRY & LEADERSHIP
EPHESIANS 4:4
For there is one body and one Spirit, just as you have been called to one glorious hope for the future.
1 PETER 2:9
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.
In the New Testament, ministry is always pictured as team ministry. Jesus brought together a team of disciples, and He sent them out as a team. The Apostles worked in teams, and they commissioned more teams. The letters of Paul describes vivid images of deeply relational team ministry.
Team relationships encompass every believer who has received Jesus as Saviour and Lord. As a team we are Kingdom-orientated with a shared vision of proclaiming the Good News of Christ, making disciples, and fostering healthy relationships in the body of Christ.
Ultimately, Jesus is Lord and head of our team, and through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit we are filled and empowered to serve Him by loving God and loving others. Leadership functions are demonstrated by humble and loving service to others, building others up in their faith and equipping them to live as followers and ambassadors of Christ. Spiritual guidance, shepherding, and oversight functions are provided by our Leadership Team (the Elders and Board of Morning Gate Church). The Board is supported by an Interim Pastoral Team.
