Questions
As a Christian I know we are called to be generous in multiple different aspects of life: time, money, etc. However I often feel as though I stretch myself too thin. How can I find a balance between being generous & not getting burnt out?
I noticed a guy and his family came to our church early in Jan. I asked him how he liked the service. He said he enjoyed it but found it a little promotional. How do we share our church’s mission statement and what we are about without seeming promotional?
As we are called to be disciples of Jesus, and “imitate me as I imitate Christ,” how should I go day to day pursuing this with those who are not as involved in their faith as I am as a high schooler?
I missed your class on how to make the most from your devotional time, but am interested to know more about what family discipleship looks like. Could you summarize what you shared in that class?
When making the transition from high school to college, what are the best ways to get plugged in and be a light to others on campus?
Does a person have to be baptized to become a Gateway member?
Do you mean that anyone baptized at Gateway automatically becomes a member (even without taking the Membership class?)
Are only Gateway members allowed to bring their children for baptism/dedication?
Do shepherding elders know the amount of money each member gives?
Why don’t we have anyone older than 50 serving as an elder?
What should people do if they don’t know who their shepherding elder is or aren’t getting any communication from him?
