Members DaveW Posted April 24, 2018 Members Share Posted April 24, 2018 Just wondering about people's thoughts on ministries such as revival ministries, evangelistic ministries, children's ministries, soup kitchen ministries..... really any sort of ministry, whether for spiritual growth or physical help. Should such ministries be part of a church, or is it ok for it to be the ministry of an individual without reference to any local church? Thoughts?

Administrators Jim_Alaska Posted April 24, 2018 Administrators Share Posted April 24, 2018 I really don't like revival ministries and evangelistic ministries that are entities of their own, whether they are put on by a church other than our own or completely separate from a local church. I've just seen too much scriptural error, salesmanship, easy believism and things of that nature. In the past many of them were nothing more than a money making machine, or a stepping stone for some evangelist to gain a following. I'm ok with children's and soup kitchen ministries if they are sanctioned by a local IFB church. I do take exception with children's ministries that try to take advantage of young minds and focus on getting a profession from the young at any cost. wretched 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Pastorj Posted April 24, 2018 Members Share Posted April 24, 2018 I would hold to a local church position. The Apostles were sent out from a local church. These ministries should be part of, or at least sent out by a local church. Just my 2 cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
