Relational Ministry Coordinator

With thanks to God, Gallatin County Love INC announces the hiring of Lee Ellingson as our Relational Ministry Coordinator.  In this position, Lee will work closely with the Executive Director, Nancy VanDyken, to help oversee the newly forming Relational Ministry program.  He brings with him a wealth of combined managerial and ministry experience.  Lee's work with Love INC begins Aug. 3, 2010.

Relational Ministry provides people in need with opportunities for life change through godly relationships with caring Christians who provide support, encouragement, and the love of Christ. The members of the Love INC partnership of churches create and operate an on-going, shared ministry of life transformation. Relational Ministry is a structured program with training for volunteers, regular classes and accountability for clients, and a place for a wide range of volunteer talents.

Through Relational Ministry, Love INC churches work together to address the deeper issues fueling the crisis of people in need.  Soon partner churches will be approached for an initial presentation of the concept of Relational Ministry, and to obtain insights into their outreach ministry priorities.  The Relational Ministry model has been used effectively in Love INC affiliates around the nation since 1991.  Churches embrace this outreach ministry as their volunteers mentor, train, and support individuals and families as they move toward the goal of self-sufficiency.  

Watch for more details about Relational Ministry in the weeks and months ahead as Love INC moves forward in presenting this significant ministry opportunity to partner churches.
