Each ministry at The Drew exists with the purpose of being a reflection of the Light Of The World. We accomplish this through the intentional and strategic alignment of all ministry activities and events with the five functions of the church: Worship, Fellowship, Discipleship, Evangelism, and Ministry.

The Drew is a place where the love of God is experienced and shared. It is because of His love for us that we joyfully and faithfully serve in His church.

Christian Education

1. New Member Orientation

The purpose of the New Member’s Discipleship Development Orientation is to:

    • Give a new member a clear understanding of the significance of the new life in Christ.
    • Explain the responsibilities inherited because of the Christian experience.
    • Define what it means to become a member of God’s Church. By using God’s Word as the final authority.

New Member’s Discipleship Development Orientation also seeks to emphasize the distinction between church membership and Christian Discipleship.

2. School of Discipleship

    • The purpose of The School of Discipleship is to help each member understand and reaffirm his/her conversion experience and their commitment: to Christ and the Church.
    • To help each member understand and accept the privileges and responsibilities of church membership.
    • To help each member understand and accept the responsibilities of Christian Discipleship (Bible Study, Prayer, Tithing, Charitable Giving and Worship).

Hospitality Ministry

Sis. Judi Johnson
Ministry Leader

The hospitality ministry is a crucial part of worship because it is one of the most visible ministries in the church. In Christ, you have received God’s unconditional love, and, in Christ, you are called to extend that same unconditional love to others. Although an usher’s love is no stronger than the love found in the whole congregation of the body of Christ, nevertheless the usher performs a major role in ensuring that people see and experience that love.
