"The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field."

Our Aim

Believing the proclamation of Jesus Christ is of utmost importance, this weekend is designed to encourage and stimulate men and women to consider vocational ministry as their life-work. Hence our name - ministry matters.

Who Should Attend?

• Are you considering your suitability for ministry?
• Are you thinking about ministry alternatives for the future?
• Are you wanting to talk with others making the same decisions?
• Are you wanting encouragement about your place in God's purposes?
• Are you wondering what ministry looks like 'on the other side'?

Then this camp is for you! We aim to put forward a biblical & true picture of ministry (not unrealistic), encourage you to examine and assess your motives, character and gifts & be motivated by gospel of Christ.

We do this recognising that vocational ministry will not be the best way for everyone to serve & the Lord's desire for more workers in the harvest field. Many have benefited from this camp in the past. We hope God will do the same again!

What happens?

• Bible Teaching
  Talks for the book of Revelation will challenge us from the bible about how we can use our lives to serve Christ
  
  
• Ministry Discussions
  A new feature at this year's Ministry Matters! Each person and couple attending will be able to discuss their personal skills, gifts and ministry plans with one of the pastoral staff attending. A great chance to receive personal feedback, advice and encouragement from an older Christian.
  
  
• Fellowship
  Spending the weekend with like-minded people who are asking the same questions and are at similar stafes in life is a huge benefit. Arguably the biggest benefit of the weekend!
