Making Disciples for Christ
Mt. Carmel family thank you for signing up for our Making Disciples for Christ program. This program consists of four components: Out-Reach, Up-Reach, In-Reach, and Cross-Reach. We want to provide you with the goal of each component so you can select the one that most fits your gift or personality.
Out-reach – To encourage the broader Mount Carmel community to be engaged in the Mount Carmel Church by creating a welcoming space and an inviting environment.
Up-Reach – To provide spiritual and social support to members by encouraging and challenging members to participate in the life of the church.
In-Reach – To inform Mount Carmel Church members of our ministries and to encourage involvement through personal connection. To help guide members based on their gifts, talents, and interests.
Cross-Reach – To sustain membership through counseling by helping members navigate conflict and ensuring their needs for love, belonging, and esteem are being met.
We hope this helps you in selecting a component to be a part of, as we a congregation of His people intentionally do what Jesus has instructed us to do in Matthew 28:19.
