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
