Want to be Involved?
Every Christian is gifted by God to have a role in the church, the
body of Christ.
Here at Hardy, every Christian is a minister! We
want to base our ministries on the gifts the Holy Spirit has given
us.
Every Christian has a unique "SHAPE" for
ministry.
S = spiritual gifts, H = heart
(your passion), A = abilities, P = personality,
E = experiences
in life.
All of these elements blend together to give you
your unique shape for ministry.
It is our prayer that you
carefully consider your own unique shape and indicate your interest
in involvement. Take a look at the list below and contact us! Please
prayerfully consider the lists of possibilities and then just
contact the person responsible. The leader will consider your
interest and
get back to you.
