Shepherd Ministry - A Lay Ministry At Broadway
Volunteer Shepherd lay ministers are prayer and care ministers six days a week, with Deacons serving as Shepherds on Sundays. Duties include: an hour of intercessory prayer, phone calls and/or notes to members based on their birthdays, church anniversary date, sickness, homeboundness, and death in families.
This is a ministry by which every member of the church is touched by the care of Christ several times a year. If the volunteer feels more in-depth care is needed, he or she notifies the appropriate church staff member.
The Shepherd hours are flexible; when you volunteer you choose the day or days you wish to shepherd each month or every other month. You decide how much time you can give.
