Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This project is about training the lay leaders to serve the church and to teach the new converts to make them more mature Christians. The settlement rate of the new comers is very low in this church. It is interpreted [due to their lack of leadership training] that the church members do not have much concern for the new comers. To solve this issue, the researcher planned to train the lay leaders. When they were trained, their concern for the new comers would be lifted up. As a result of this, the settlement rate of the new comers would become high because the lay leaders would nurture the new comers more effectively. In chapter 4, the implementation plan was established. The researcher recruited the church members for the Treatment Group and Control Group. He trained the participants for ten weeks. He tested both groups with the pretest and posttest before and after the training to compare the results. In Chapter 6, the result of the training of the lay leaders was interpreted by explaining the result of the data. As a result of the training, first, their spiritual leadership was increased, second, their personality was developed, third, they became devotional workers for the Lord and the church, fourth, they became the personal resources of the church, and fifth, they became more mature Christians. Thus, it has been supported that training the lay leaders for the new convert class helped the settlement of the new comers and their growth"--Abstract.
Book Synopsis Training Lay Members for Settling New Members Into the Church by : Se Lin Choi
Download or read book Training Lay Members for Settling New Members Into the Church written by Se Lin Choi and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The project is about training lay members for settling new members into the church. The researcher pointed out the problem of settling new members in Immanuel Church and presented the solution for the problem. New members register in the church, but their settlement rate is rather low. In addition, untrained lay-members are still in their immature faith. In order to solve these problems, the researcher made the plan to training lay-believers who are potential resources in the church and raise them as ministers. The researcher presented the problem in Immanuel Church, and he defined the background of the project and the terms. In the researcher's project, the researcher considered biblical, theological and historical bases for training lay-members for settling new members. For the biblical basis of the Old Testaments, the researcher examined ministry allotment of Moses, 70-elder system of Moses and how Samuel and prophet pupils were trained in lay-ministry. For the biblical basis of the New Testament, the researcher examined how lay-believer training was conducted through Jesus and His disciples, 7 deacons in the early church and Ephesians 4. As an historical basis, the researcher examined how John Wesley conducted lay-believer training. As theological basis, the researcher ... studied lay-believers' identity and mission in the church community for training lay-members for settling new members, and he considered the meaning and purpose of lay-believers' position and mission in the church. The researcher studied the theoretical aspect of the project and practical aspect of lay-believer training by comparing similar projects about lay believer training and nurturing and settlement through lay-members. The researcher also examined actual cases of churches that succeeded in lay-believer training. Such study seems to set practical and desirable direction for settling new members through lay-believer training. Lay-minister training for settling new members includes the areas of importance of settling new members, personal quality, faith quality, expectation and desire and development of relationship. The training period of lay-leaders was conducted for 10 weeks, and the content of the education included 10 lessons. Sample group of 24 people was organized to measure the result of the training, and survey form with 32 questions was made. Twelve people were allotted to the treatment group, and 12 people were allotted to the control group. Training result was measured by having the two groups answer identical survey forms before and after the training. The result of the lay minister training was confirmed based on the survey results. Lay-members realized the importance of settling new comers through the training. Lay-members' personal quality was changed. They understood growth as they changed through the training and experienced grace. They formed a sense of community that is necessary for settling new members. Fellowships were promoted to have good relationships with new members. In conclusion, lay members ministry for settling new members is to train lay-members and nurture them with right faith so that they can live according to God's purpose. Through settlement of new members and continuous lay-believer ministry, the church will become healthy and become more dynamic than before. The researcher theologically discussed how the lay-minister training for settling new members is meaningful to pastors, lay-members and churches along with the direction of lay-believer ministry "--Abstract.

Download or read book Moving out from the Pew: Equipping the Saints for the Work of Ministry written by Rev. Dr. Connie Welch and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2017-01-03 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a transformational training course designed to give church leaders of all educational levels the basic biblical interpretation, homiletical, public speaking, and leadership skills necessary to fulfill their role as lay leaders. It provides all of the resources necessary to facilitate class discussions in each of the four learning modules, including recommendations for suggested textbooks, power point presentations, and other class room materials to be distributed to the students as study guides. A church can only go as far as its leaders. When the leadership as a whole grows spiritually, the church also grows spiritually. We grow in the Lord as we learn how to accurately handle the word of truth (2 Timothy 2:15; NASB). Focused bible study, enhanced with the proper biblical interpretation skills, provides a much deeper and more thorough understanding of Gods word and thus strengthens our relationship with Him. It also provides the foundation for our theological development and biblical worldview.

And the selected conventional leadership styles are examined also: democratic leadership style; visionary leadership style; and coaching leadership style. Chapter 3 discusses sociological and psychological perspectives of Korean first generation Christians in the United States. The Korean way of thinking has been influenced by Confucianism and the Korean religious way of thinking by Korean Shamanism respectively. Korean Christians in the United States have been affected consciously and unconsciously by post--modernism and religious pluralism which somewhat control their Christian religious lives. Chapter 4 deals with items from chapters 2 and 3 in the fifteen sessions. The trainees involved so actively and diligently that they learned about the perspectives of biblical and conventional leadership styles and Korean way of thinking affected by Confucianism and Korean religious way of thinking rooted deeply in the Korean shamanism. Then the influences of post--modernism and religious pluralism on them were examined specifically. The trainees came to grasp psychological and sociological perspectives of Korean and necessary leadership skills. Chapter 5 presents the evaluation by summary and conclusion of the project and further tasks. The purpose of this ministry project fulfilled through the post--test and the trainees were satisfied with the implementation through fifteen session. The developed lay leaders training program will expand to train the further ministry program including intercessory prayer program, and short--term mission and long--term mission. And in the future this lay leaders training program will be developed to cover the ministry and mission for the Korean second generation immigrants.
