Thinking about Starting a New Ministry?
Congratulations! If you are thinking about starting a new ministry, you are embarking on a wonderful adventure. This guide is designed as a helpful tool to assist you in the reflection process and help you know where to get started.
We believe that God has gifted every Christian with gifts to do ministry in the church and in the world. We also believe God calls people into ministry. It may be to serve as a leader for our youth, or sing on the worship team, or start a new ministry. The staff and leaders of St. Paul stand ready to assist you.
Please print and complete this form and get it to any Ministry Board chairperson or drop it by the church office. Someone will get in touch with you soon to discuss the new ministry. We look forward to working with you and we pray for God's Blessings on your new ministry.
There are some important things to know and to consider as you get started:

What will you need to accomplish what you want to do? How do you plan to get what you need?
• leadership needs:
• financial needs:
• administrative help or publicity needs:
• building or space needs:
• other needs:
What is your target audience? Who are you trying to reach?
Our mission (what we do) is: In Jesus' Name: Do Justice, Love Kindness, Walk Humbly with God. How will this ministry help us accomplish our mission?
Every ministry we have is connected to one of our Ministry Boards (Education, Witness/Evangelism, Worship and Music, Youth, Nurture, Operations/Finance, and Operations/Property). You will be supported by and be accountable to the Ministry Board chairperson of that area.
What team do you think this new ministry should be connected to?
