The Shepherd’s Ministry is
the core leadership of Life Church
that is designed to provide each
member of Life Church the personal
spiritual support, training and
guidance as they grow in their relationship
with Christ. This is a God-ordained
process for moving people from unchurched
and uncommitted to mature believers
who fulfill their ministry in the
church and their life mission in
the world.
There are four shepherds in Life
Church that serve along side of
the senior pastor to take care of
the entire congregation. Each shepherd
ministers to a very specific group
of people within the church based
on where they are in their spiritual
relationship with Christ and Life
Church.
In addition to the daily support
they provide, each shepherd teaches
a class designed to help members
of their group move to the net level.
The classes are:
 |
Shepherd of Membership – Life Church 101 Class |
|
Shepherd of Maturity – Life
Church 201 Class |
|
Shepherd of Ministry – Life
Church 301 Class |
|
Shepherd of Mission – Life
Church 401 Class |

Pastor
Al & Christine Royal
are Shepherds of Life Church
301 and are responsible for
the discipleship of all members
in Life Church demonstrating
a commitment to the maturity
covenant on a regular basis
and are ready to serve God
by ministering to His people
at a local level in Life Church.
This foundation of this class
is the understanding that
serving God is not an option.
Every member has a ministry!
This is what 301 is all about.
This class is about serving
God according to your servant
profile. Members discover
the three elements of their
servant profile:
1) Spiritual gifts –
“what” you do
when you serve
2) Passion – “where”
you serve
3) Style – “how”
you serve
They are then mentored and
facilitated into their place
of service in the body of
Christ at Life Church.
