Ministry Plan:

The guidelines for developing ministry at Elkton Presbyterian Church in the next three to five years are:

Worship:
  1. Continue a strong emphasis on Bible-based sermons that touch and renew each individual spiritually and personally.
  2. Be a warm and caring small community church that welcomes each person as a member of the church family.
  3. Expand our music talents to enhance worship and praise our Lord.
  4. Continue to encourage intergenerational involvement in all areas of worship.


Nurture:
  1. Encourage and train people to lead and members to participate in Bible studies and prayer groups.
  2. Through programs like Pastoral Partners, encourage members to visit and maintain contact with those who do not or are not able to attend worship regularly.
  3. Be aware of and address needs of members of the congregation who are involved in giving of themselves, particularly those in leadership roles.
  4. Establish and maintain a balanced church, meaning one strong in many areas with many people involved in leadership by developing leadership from those who have gifts to offer.
Mission:
  1. Be an active shepherd in our community, caring for others by sharing our gifts, time, and talents and spreading the word of Jesus Christ.
  2. Pray for local missions and serve their needs with our volunteer help and financial support.
  3. Be actively connected with ecumenical mission programs involving local needs.
  4. Pray and financially support mission projects and issues nationally and throughout the world.
Children and Youth:
  1. Increase involvement of families with children and youth who participate in programs by supporting youth and reaching beyond them into their families.
  2. Serve as a haven and source of stability to youth through welcoming them, listening to them, and forming meaningful relationships with them.
  3. Increase adult guidance for children and youth using a mentor process.
