One of the cool parts about our staff retreat was hearing how God is growing different ministries.  I was really taken by the growth of our Fresh Start ministry this year.

Fresh Start is our ministry that supports people who make decisions to follow Christ, or to re-commit their lives to Him.  This ministry has evolved and expanded during this past year with the addition of a Pastor to New Believers, a Fresh Start Class (which answers questions New Believers have and helps them get started in their journey with Christ), and an expanded ministry team led by Volunteer Coordinator Diane Maloney. 

Diane has been such an encouragement to our team as this ministry has really taken it to the next level. It has been great to see the team answering the questions of those coming to the Fresh Start table, praying with them, and providing materials (including a Bible) to help them in their growth. This connection continues as the team follows up with our New Believers to encourage them in their Faith. 

We want to give a big thanks to Diane and her team for the wonderful and important job that they do.  There are a few opportunities to serve on this team, so if you have a desire to help new believers grow in their faith, indicate “Fresh Start Team” on your communication card, stop by the Fresh Start table, or Volunteer Central to find out more.
