Our mission is to love like Jesus. As part of accomplishing that mission we are creating '5 Deep' ministry teams. These teams have a goal of being gift driven instead of need driven, creating a culture that will not end when a primary leader is no longer participating.
The five deep method will consist of a primary teacher, a primary leader for follow up, a primary leader for 'family building' activities, a primary leader for ministry outreach and a primary apprentice. This should give everyone a role and ownership of a ministry without feeling like its all based upon the ability of any one personality.
5 deep is proving successful already in our targeted ministries. You can and should get involved. Contact this point people to know more:
