Ministry Associates are young adults that are being equipped as future leaders for the local church.
Goal
Our Ministry Associates program (MA) helps us to fulfill our vision to be a Training and Sending church. This opportunity is for Christians keen to play a vital part in building God’s kingdom, establish firm foundations for gospel ministry and to explore their calling while serving God wholeheartedly in a local church with a variety of established and pioneering ministries.
Through training, mentoring and stretching ministry experience, our Ministry Associates program aims to help ministry trainees deepen their understanding of the Bible, develop their ministry skills and become more Christlike in character. As a church, Christ Church invests strongly in our ministry associates because we are committed to doing our part in raising up a new generation of faithful Christian leaders.
Training
- Study and Training: Ministry Associates gather together two times per semester to be trained by one of the pastors on a key component of ministry and leadership in the local church.
- Ministry Experience: Each MA is placed within a church ministry, working alongside a Christ Church ministry leader (their supervisor), and given increasing responsibility. It is an opportunity to invest deeply in gospel ministry and in people for a year.
- Mentored Supervision: Ministry Associates commit to intentionally growing their own discipleship and ministry competence. Their supervisors support them in this by providing regular guidance and feedback in ministry and spurring them on in their discipleship. The Ministry Associate program is not just concerned about developing skills and knowledge, but each participant’s relationship with God and who they are becoming in Christ.
Ministry Associates for 2024-25 are: Anna Hoffman (Welcome Ministries), Audrey Myers (Kids Ministry), Caleb Mount (Outreach + Evangelism), Ian Mount (Music Ministries).
