Turner Chapel Purposes
Turner Chapel is organized
into the following distinctive purpose approaches of ministry:
|
|
|
Worship
"Worship the Lord your
God and serve only Him." - Matthew 4:10
The Worship purpose is a
spiritually-based, administrative umbrella for all worship
ministries. Worship represents the front line of Turner Chapel
Church, seeking to facilitate corporate worship meetings that
encourage individual relationship development with God and
help usher people into the transforming presence of God. Our
mission statement is to Love the Lord with all your heart
and with all your soul and with all your mind.

Fellowship
"So
in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs
to all the others."
-Romans 12:5 (NIV)
The Fellowship purpose mission
is to connect our Turner Chapel AME Church members to each
other. Our vision is that our members become bonded together
in such a way that they love each other, are in constant prayer
for each other, empower each other, encourage each other and
minister to each other. This will lead all of us to the knowledge
and the feeling that we are one body in Christ Jesus and belong
to him first of all and then to each other.

Congregational Care
A new commandment I give you. You must love
one another, just as I have loved you. If you love one another,
everyone will know you are my disciples." - John 13:34-35
The Congregational Care Ministry provides support
for members of the TCC family who are dealing with an illness,
or facing the loss of a loved one. As believers in a risen
Savior, we are compelled to demonstrate to one another the
love that God has shown us through Jesus Christ within the
community of faith. We are called to be a caring community.

Service
Each of you has been blessed
with one of God's many wonderful gifts to be used in the service
of others. So use your gifts well.
-I Peter 4:10 (CEV)
The Service purpose seeks
to help members learn about how God has uniquely designed
and shaped each individual to minister in specific ways. Whether
it be through volunteerism or leadership, we believe that
everyone has a gift, and with it comes privilege and responsibility.
Our goal is to assist you with discovering the habits that
lead to understanding your gift area; thereby, empowering
you to use your talents, not only for personal goals but to
uplift the Body of Christ and the community.

Evangelism
"Go ye therefore, and
teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father,
and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, teaching them to observe
all things whatsoever I have commanded you; and lo, I am with
you always, even unto the end of the world."
Matthew 28:19-20.
The Evangelism purpose is
to promote spreading the Gospel to family, friends, community,
and the world with the expectation of winning souls for Christ
and growing our church. The Evangelism mission is to evangelize
to the un-churched and un-saved.

Discipleship
"Now the Bereans
were of more noble character than the Thessalonians, for they
received the message with great eagerness and examined the
Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true."
- Acts 17:11

exists to help people be more like Christ in their thoughts,
feelings and actions. The Discipleship vision is to facilitate
the spiritual growth of every member of the church moving
from new birth to maturity in Christ.

to provide appropriate instructors for every member of
the church family by adhering to the following principles:
- Encouraging personal bible reading
and study

of scripture
