What ministries are part of the Spirit of the Heartland team and who are the ministers?
Our ministers include both team ministers who are called volunteers and ministers who are paid staff. We have ministers who are lay persons and some who are priests or deacons. Some ministries, for example preacher, may be done by lay person, priest, or deacon. Other ministries require a person to be in a particular “order.” For example, to serve as a sacramentalist, one must be a priest. The details for each position will vary and shift according to the gifts and abilities of the individual minister. That’s how small churches work best. Some fitting of the ministry to the minister is necessary in a small community and optimizes the use of our unique gifts. That’s why there is some overlap in descriptions.
