The
scriptures tell us that God calls all who believe in him to be ministers to
others. One of the many ways Anderson Hills Christian Church fulfills this call
is through a formal program – Shepherding. This endeavor serves to both fulfill
the scriptures and to assist the senior pastor in caring for the AHCC
congregation. The shepherds are elected elders and commissioned lay ministers,
and the program is designed to ensure that each member and friend of the
congregation has a shepherd who prays for them daily and is there for the member
when needed. The shepherds utilize the tools related to PACE:P – Prayer
A – Be available
C – Have regular contact
E – Be an example
This ministry is conducted in different ways depending on the needs of an individual and the capabilities of the shepherd. We are confident that God guides us in what to do and what to say.
