Loving relationships are at the core of effective ministry and foundational for communal formation. This project, seeks to offer a model for congregations and their ministries to reclaim the call to biblical community through a theology of love. Using the music program as a microcosm of the larger situation of communal fragmentation at Memorial Presbyterian Church (MPC), the thesis of this project is that pray-centered, bible-based small group environments will be an effective means in fostering community creating a salubrious environment for effective ministry. |
