Download or read book Developing a Community of Care Bereavement Ministry at New York Worship Center Church in Jamaica New York written by Craig Pender and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The intent of this rigorous academic and practical project was three fold. Our first intent was to provide a bible based grief support group for church and unchurched adults grieving the loss of loved ones. It was also our intent that our learning and experience would develop into a viable grief support ministry at New York Worship Church, a ministry that is scarcely available to non-existent in most churches. Thirdly, it is our intent that this project would serve as a model helping other churches and funeral service providers to see the mutual benefits of working collaboratively to provide a similar ministry to the constituents of their communities. The project was carried out over a six-week period, which included a weekly video seminar on a grief-related topic. The videos featured respected counselors and teachers who have faced their own grief and who share insights on how to walk through grief in a healthy way. There were also personal testimonies of people who shared their struggles and what helped them. After, each video, time was spent in small group discussion of the concepts from the video and how they apply to participant's day-to-day struggles and life. I and other leaders from New York Worship Center Church facilitated these discussions. The Lay Advisory Committee was carefully recruited and included among others a Licensed Funeral Director; a Licensed Social Worker, and a Practicing Attorney. These professionals not only served extremely well as co-facilitators, but their expertise and knowledge proved to enhance each session. I would be remiss not to mention that Ms. Jameison, our attorney was so committed to the integrity of the project and to those who would benefit from it, offered pro-bono legal assistance to each of the participants as they had need concerning the estates of those who had recently passed away. By the end of the first session all involved could tell that this project was going to be a tremendous success. It was also confirmed through comments made by the participants, that the idea to bring this opportunity to the community as a collaboration between New York Worship Church and J. Foster Phillips Funeral Home was not only a very smart idea, but a very considerate way to give back to the community. This project demonstrated the effectiveness and projected outcomes of the Congregational Growth and Community Development area of study. By identifying a need within our local community and by finding a way to meet that need with a community partner helped to demonstrate what it means to live out the gospel and share the love of Jesus Christ. I and the Lay Advisory Committee members were all transformed by this experience, but more importantly the participants received the necessary tools, and ministry that was needed to help them move from mourning to joy.

Download or read book Equipping the Church with Grief Ministry Skills written by Dr. Michael D. Baker and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2022-01-26 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This project is a training tool for Christian leaders to educate and equip leader and laity alike with the knowledge of the field of grief, and to equip them to improve their ministry to the bereaved. This book can be used by denominational leaders, conventions, and church leaders to train pastors, deacons, and lay leaders in grief ministry skills. The book examines the theological dimensions of death and grief, as well as the theoretical foundations of grief, both normal grief and complicated. Also, the book identifies essential grief ministry skills and the practical application of those skills. The book is both educational and practical. This book can be used in a seminary class room, or can be used by associations to develop the grief ministry skills of its local pastors. This book can also be used in the local church to equip deacons and lay leaders to better minister to its congregants. This book holds value for its commitment to examining the field of grief, while holding to Christian principles. Most literature that combines the knowledge of grief and Christian principles either prepares a person for counseling or ministers to the person that has experienced loss. This book can in fact assist those studying for a career in grief counseling, and at the same time help those experiencing loss. The intention of the author is help the professional as well as the layman prepare for grief ministry and develop specific skills to assist them in their ability to minister to the bereaved.

This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This project was designed to equip and mobilize the members of Calvary Baptist Church, so that they would participate with the pastors in the personal ministry of God’s Word to help every man, woman, and child in the church to grow in their relationship with God. Chapter 2 is the biblical rationale that demonstrates God’s call to be involved in the discipleship process and explains God’s dynamics for change. Matthew 28:16-20, Psalm 19:7-14, and Ephesians 4:20-24 are examined. Chapter 3 identifies five key principles in the biblical counseling movement: a culture of care (1) involves every member in the church community, (2) responds to the contextual status of the person, (3) uses God’s authoritative and sufficient Word, (4) battles idols in the heart, and (5) teaches one how to live according to the truth. Chapter 4 explains the developed curriculum for the course, describes the implementation process in caring for one another, and then summarizes the results of the participants’ care for one another. Chapter 5 is an evaluation of the impact on those participating in the training. Strengths and weaknesses regarding purpose, goals, training, and practicing “one-another” care are discussed.
