Philosophy of Ministry

DANIELS BIBLE CHURCH

I. What is the purpose of the church?

The purpose of the church is to know God and make

Him known through equipping the saints for works of

service so that each one may become mature in Christ

(Matt. 28:18-20; Eph. 4:ll-13; Col. 1:28).

II. What are necessary elements needed in disciple making?

A. Teaching - an indoctrination of biblical truths for the

maintaining of doctrinal purity and facilitating

character transformation.

B. Modeling - the process by which one person engages

in Christ like behavior as an example to be imitated by

other persons.

C. Fellowship - interpersonal relationships centered around

the person of Christ and God’s design for mankind.

D. Worship - an act of the will whereby one declares God’s

worth in response to His attributes.

E. Prayer - an act of dependency upon God in the offering

up of one’s desires for things agreeable to His will

in the name of Christ that the Father may be glorified.

F. Evangelism - sharing of the gospel of Jesus Christ and

making an appeal to men and women to be reconciled

to God in Christ Jesus.

Note: One’s involvement in these elements should be motivated by a love for Christ, and a desire to please and to fulfill His command to serve one another (Matt. 20:20-28).
