Discipleship Ministries at Hinsdale Seventh-day Adventist
Church exists on three main levels: community, congregation
and core. These categories are represented by the three
concentric circles. The outer circle of Outreach is what we
are focusing on..
The Goal of Outreach
is to minister
to Seekers in our larger Community for the ultimate purpose of
introducing them to Jesus Christ. Seekers are unchurched
people who are looking for answers to the difficult and often
existential questions of their lives.
The Process of Outreach
is
personal in nature and determined by the spiritual gifts,
personality type and evangelistic style of the Discipler, the
level of friendship with the Seeker, and the types of
questions needing to be addressed. It is never manipulative or
impatient, and always motivated by love.
The Ministries of
Outreach
focus on
building invitational relationships between Disciplers and
Seekers on every level, from low impact events like cooking
classes to medium impact contemporary worship services or
small groups to high impact programs like Bible studies
leading to baptism. For a listing and description of Hinsdale
