Ministry audits

Many of you would have heard whispers of things called "Ministry Audits".

These aren't anything sinister. They are a periodic review of our activities to ensure that they are contributing to our overall mission - to shine God's light in Adelaide's south so that others join us as disciples of Jesus Christ. If we can't demonstrate people joining us as disciples, we need to ask whether an activity needs to improve its methods or if, perhaps, it should cease.

Some activities have closed over this period. Due to staffing issues, our boxing and wrestling clubs have closed. Our companion club at Glenelg has finished in its current form and will become another Corps small group bible study. Our basketbal club has sharpened its focus and will be much more explicit in its relationship with our church and its mission intentions. Our seniors have decided to have prayer boxes and strengthen links with the broader Corps.

These audits will be used every second or third year just to keep us focussed. The measures are the same for every ministry, because we are all part of the one mission. The end result should be that mulri-cultural, multi-congregational, multi-campus church serving all generations in our area of Adelaide.

Thank you to each of the ministry leaders for their cooperation in this process.
