to
understand what God is calling
us
to, in the next stage of the journey.
Knowing where you’re going then helps you know what ministry you need, to help you get there.Slide7
In our Presbytery, you have a choice!
A. Conventional ministry
OR
B. Regeneration ministrySlide8
What’s the difference with regeneration ministry?
The focus on mission is agreed at the start, including time allocations.
Regeneration ministers are invited to participate in coaching and ongoing missional training by the Presbytery.
A ‘regeneration’ profile attracts some ministers who seek a missional placement where that focus is well understood and already committed to.
Regular conversations with the minister, the Church Council and the Presbytery occur to look at progress and provide support. Slide9
Regeneration Ministry
When a congregation has decided that their primary focus is on developing mission and new ways of being missional Church, they may decide to seek a
Regeneration Minister.Slide10
Example: a Regeneration Ministry scenario
Worship and teaching 40% (2)
Pastoral Care 20% (1)
Mission/growth 30% (1.5)
visioning
Planning
Youth ministry
Leadership development
Admin/meetings 10% (.5)

Safeguards

Your reps on the JNC will have conversations with
ministers.
You will vote to issue a call.
The Presbytery is committed to supporting regeneration ministers and congregations in the long term.Slide14
All ministries are of equal value.
But they are all different.
It isn’t ‘better’ to have a regeneration minister, or a traditional minister.
It just depends on what kind of
leadership you need.
