(A) Definitions & theology
Church
3
Church: Happens anywhere
You can discover the sacred in the small things throughout our daily
lives that are not necessarily found in a church (Taylor, 2009).
4
Church: Jesus as a leader
5
Church: Baptizes
For in the one Spirit we were all baptized into one bodyJews or
Greeks, slaves or freeand we were all made to drink of one Spirit
(New Revised Standard Version, 1 Corinthians 12:13).
6
Church: Spread the Word
Finally, brothers and sisters, pray for us, so that the word of the Lord
may spread rapidly and be glorified everywhere, just as it is among
you( 1 Thessalonians 3:1).

Theology of Ministry
8
Ministry: Love
He answered, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart,
and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your
mind; and your neighbor as yourself (Luke 10:27).
10
Ministry: More love!
Behold, from faith thus flow forth love and joy in the Lord, and from
love a joyful, willing, and free mind that serves ones neighbor willingly
and takes no account of gratitude or ingratitude, of praise or blame, of
gain or loss, (Luther, 1970, pp. 304).
11
Ministry: Creativity
13
Ministry: Creates community
16
Leadership: Be educated or trained
There is so much to learn about faith and other useful concepts that
include practical theology by Osmer (2008) and Friedmans (2007)
insights about leadership to help out your ministry.
17
Leadership: Be able to educate others
Teach about Jesus and what knowledge you have obtained from your
education and/or training.
18
Leadership: Opportunity for all
22
I want to be able to use my theatre skills
Theatre and the Church have a long history with each other, which was
both bad and/or good (Johnson & Savidge, 2009).
23
and I want to use my music skills.
From the very beginning, the arts have had a tenuous place in the
church (Sokolove, 2013, pp. 130).
25
The Lutheran Campus Ministry and my theatre training
has inspired me to continue my call into ministry.
I would love to work with young adults at a campus ministry and put on
more plays within a ministry setting.
26
I want to work with all ages, especially with children,
youth, young adults, and families.
27
Most importantly, I want to spread the love of God.
29
Strength: I have improvisation skills or I can think on my
feet.
As mentioned before, I have theatre, music, art, and other creative skills
that I like to use for others. This picture is very creative too.
31
Strength: Organization skills
I agree.
33
Strength: Public speaking skills
I sometimes say, yes to too many things and I end up too busy.
*Next steps: Say, no to some things and designate others to do certain
jobs.
35
Challenge: Being at an unfamiliar place
38
Challenge: Coffee hour or fellowship hour
