Philosophy of Ministry
Servant Leadership is a Partnership / A Personal Philosophy of Ministry It begins at home - Marriage is partnership:
- Marriage is a hand-in-hand journey.
- Marriage requires a faithful grip and faithful grips build trust.
- Trust is a great foundation to nurture the next generation.
Leadership is a partnership.
- I have chosen to partner hand-in-hand with those in leadership. Leadership is a shared journey.
- Through all the change in ministry it is the relationships that have endured. The people God has brought into my life and allowed me to journey with them has made me a stronger and better person.
- Strength for the journey: it has been an amazing thing the strength one gains by just knowing someone is walking with you.
- Trust established by being faithful in relationships. This is essential to the leadership partnership.
