Belonging
More than attending on a Sunday
If you decide to become part of El Shaddai Living Waters Church, you are not simply becoming someone who attends Sunday services. You become part of the vision and mission of the church.
The vision becomes our vision.
The mission becomes our mission.
- We pray together
- We worship together
- We serve together
- We grow together
- We reach people together
- We carry one another together
Church is not a place where one person does everything.
Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.
-
Every person has a place
-
Every person has a gift
-
Every person has a responsibility
Pastor and Members
We are accountable to one another
I want to make something very clear as Pastor. I am accountable to God first, and I am also accountable to the church to faithfully serve, teach and shepherd according to the Word of God.
And as members, you also have a responsibility to walk according to the Word of God and support the vision and mission of the church. This is not one sided. Pastor and members need one another.
Have confidence in your leaders and submit to their authority, because they keep watch over you as those who must give an account.
This verse reminds me that I have to give an account for how I shepherd God’s people.
Be shepherds of God’s flock that is under your care … not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock.
So as Pastor
- I will serve you
- I will pray for you
- I will teach you the Word
- I will encourage you
- I will lead by example
And I ask you
- Pray for me
- Pray for my family
- Stand with the church
- Support the vision
- Serve one another
- Walk faithfully with Jesus
If our vision and mission speak to your heart, we would be blessed to have you become part of what God is doing through El Shaddai Living Waters Church Sydney.
