Relational Leadership Ministry

Ministers and Church Leaders are committed to sharing a saving message to the world.  Does your church have the answer for pain-filled people in a problem-filled culture?  Absolutely!  In a world where love for God and others is growing cold, hurting people are searching for a message of hope.  Therefore, churches must share a spiritual and relational message where people experience a deeper relationship with God and meaningful relationships with others.  In this 21st Century when congregations, marriages and families are being severely attacked by the enemy, effective ministry must provide a spiritual and relational focus that prioritizes an experience with The Great Commandment Love and The Great Commission. 

Leaders and Potential Leaders will:
•  Integrate 1st Century principles of loving God and others.
•  Develop a plan for implementing on-going ministry in the pulpit and pew
•  Multiply the impact of the Gospel message
•  Meet relational needs and minister to hurts
•  Equip and lead congregations in ministering to others in their joy and pain
•  Appeal to the spiritual, rational mind and relational heart
•  Restore people to God and people to people, at home, at church, in the community

Experience ministry motivation that deepens intimacy with God and others in church, families, marriages, and friendships.  Pastors and leaders who provide a ministry that blends believing right, behaving right, and loving right will be leading ambassadors in sharing a relevant message to the community.

Marriage Enrichment

Did you know that:
•  Marriage was designed to bless God and bring Him honour and glory BUT the enemy is destroying homes, causing pain and aloneness.

•  The marriage relationship is to be a mirror of God’s abundant love for mankind, BUT many marriages experience lonely, hurting relationships.

Communication- Talking and Listening Together

There is no substitute for loving and caring communication. Furthermore, conflicts and differences that are resolved effectively and efficiently create a positive and productive environment. However, even with a genuine caring attitude, communication can be unclear, inept, or misunderstood. Therefore, effective communication is essential to develop intimate relationships at home, at church or in the work place.

This workshop will show you how to:

•  Deal with personal and relational issues more satisfactorily.
•  Send clear, complete, and straightforward messages.
•  Listen more accurately and productively
•  Choose appropriate and effective styles of communication.
•  Build self-esteem.
•  Apply the skills with partners, children, co-workers, etc.
•  Increase relationship satisfaction.

Healthy relationships produce a healthy home, church and society. Prevention, maintenance, and early intervention will produce environments that are positive and productive.   Families who are equipped to communicate effectively will experience loving and fulfilling relationships that deepen intimacy.

Family Healing, Growth, and Nurturing

21ST Century leaders are becoming more concerned about the increase of family breakdown and crises.  Love is not enough.  Living love has become more challenging as the enemy intensifies his efforts to destroy the fundamental structure of the church and society.  Certainly, the church desires to become more purposely involved in providing more emphasis on the family.  Loved ones are striving to live out the gospel at home but too often experience pain that they are not able to live with.

Bring the whole family together, parents and children, and share in this intergenerational experience as family members:
•  Affirm their love and connectedness.
•  Build a sense of identity and belonging.
•  Identify the most vital relational needs of each one in their family.
•  Understand how meeting those needs brings oneness in their relationships.
•  Learn how to communicate effectively regarding feelings and needs.
•  Speak so that others can listen.
•  Listen so that others can speak.
•  Deal with personal issues more satisfactorily.
•  Build self esteem.
•  Increase relationship satisfaction.

Equip the body of Christ for a lifestyle of witness as “living letters for all men to read” because if the gospel is not working at home, it doesn’t export well.  Create an environment where families deepen their love for God and one another.
