LRBC Pastoral Ministry

The mission of the Pastoral ministry at Living Rock is to Glorify God by being eager to reach out to others who are searching for Christ, by being available to teach others the truths within the scriptures, and by being willing and eager to help, care and shepherd those who are struggling emotionally, spiritually or physically.

The pastoral ministry of Living Rock provides evangelism, prayer, teaching, spiritual oversight, and care for those in need. The ministry uses the words of scripture to establish objectives and emphasis.

Consider the words of Scripture:

The early curch leaders recognized their spiritual responsibility and privilege to pray and teach others.
NIV Acts 6:4 and will give our attention to prayer and the ministry of the word.

The apostle Paul during his farewell address to the Elders at Ephesus reminded them to oversee and shepherd themselves as well as those in their flock.

NIV Acts 20:28 Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood.

The words to the young pastor Timothy from his mentor Paul.

NIV 2 Timothy 4:2 Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage– with great patience and careful instruction.
