In the book of Ephesians, the Apostle Paul makes it clear that
pastors like Ron, evangelists like Billy Graham, and teachers like Mrs.
McGuillocudy (you do remember your 3rd grade teacher, don't you?) are
not supposed to be doing all the ministry. God assigned some people to
be apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers and evangelists so that they
could equip everyone in the church to be the ones doing God's work.

If it wasn't for great lay leaders of Grace, very little would get done
around here. As it is, we have over 150 ministries meeting people's
needs, leading people to Christ and honoring God. Our small group and
ministry leaders carry the charge and the zeal to the members of their
groups and help them serve God. Imagine:

• A man begins loving his wife in an unselfish way because of what he learns in his small group.
• A woman demonstrates the peace of God in a stressful job because
  her prayer group has been studying the relationship of prayer and
  peace.
• A high school student gets up the courage to invite his classmate
  to Student Ministry because his discussion group leader comes across as
  cool.

These individuals are doing God's work, living His way because our leaders have been pouring into their lives.

Are you one of our leaders? If so, know that we appreciate you more
than we can say. If not, consider getting involved. You won't find
anything more rewarding than investing yourself in people.
