Preaching to effect ministry development

Participation in the church fluctuates at times creating a shortfall of volunteers. In this project, the author proposes that intentional and effective preaching can affect ministry development that results in greater involvement in church- sponsored ministries by members of the congregation. The purpose of this project is to explore preaching that engages the whole body of believers in a way that people hear and respond to the good news by participating in the life of the church.
