Purpose of the Community Ministry Task Force

The Community Ministry Task Force focuses on ways Christians can serve the physical, social, economic and spiritual needs of the community.

The Community Ministry Task Force focuses on ways Christians can serve the physical, social, economic and spiritual needs of various kinds of people in the community. Social issues such as poverty and homelessness need to be addressed with compassion and forethought.

The purpose of the Community Ministry Task Force is to facilitate Community Ministry Missionaries, help them to develop cultural understanding of those with social issues, create materials and resources for them, design training processes, foster ongoing interaction between them in peer-to-peer learning networks, and improve their implementation as they serve needs in the community.

There is no related travel for participants. We ask the Community Ministry Task Force participants to commit to four quarterly meetings over the next year with a time of 2 hours for each meeting via Skype. Beyond this commitment, the Task Force participants themselves may extend the sessions based on their own consensus.
