Mike Morrissey is helping ACC plug our people into our serving ministry. Here he offers thoughts on why we serve.
“Jesus says, “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Mark 10:45
“For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” Ephesians 2:10
We are a church on the move. We need every church member to act on faith and move within the walls of the church through service. Think about a church without small group leaders, weekend tech folks, communion preparers, gardeners, etc. What would it be like? Reaching in to our church family prepares the church for action. That’s what a church on the move is all about; everyone is needed to make this church move down the many paths God places us on.
As a church, we value serving. Because we are a growing church, we continually have new volunteer needs so we may reach those people God brings through our doors. God has chosen us to serve and through our actions, attitudes and words, we will impact the Kingdom of God and the lives of His people for eternity.
At Amelia Church of Christ, we strongly believe that each person is designed with a purpose — a purpose to live our lives for Christ and through this, we use our talents and gifts to serve Him and grow His kingdom. We are made to serve Him. The quality of our service is a direct reflection of our love for God and for other people.
“Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not men…” Ephesians 6:7
We believe that serving in the church is an honor and an act of worship. Church members serve with their God-given gifts because they understand that God has created them uniquely. By serving, volunteers are not only connected to the church, but they have fellowship with their church family, grow spiritually, and help connect others to one another and Jesus. This is fully in keeping with the vision at ACC: Connect, Grow, Serve.
