THE WORK CONTINUES

INTRODUCTION

The Ministers’ Council of the North Carolina Diocese stands as a devoted body of servants, united by a shared commitment to proclaiming the gospel message of Christ with excellence, integrity, and unwavering faith. Each minister carries a sacred responsibility, to lead God’s people with clarity, compassion, and spiritual maturity. This calling requires continual growth, intentional reflection, and a deepening of both character and competence.

This upcoming workbook has been prayerfully crafted to support that journey. More than a manual, it is a comprehensive growth resource designed to strengthen the spiritual, emotional, and practical foundation of every leader. Within its pages, ministers will find biblical insight, guided reflections, leadership principles, and tools that nurture personal devotion while sharpening ministry effectiveness. It is structured to help leaders examine their calling, refine their gifts, and cultivate the strength and compassion necessary to serve God’s people with excellence.

As Scripture reminds us, “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15 . This project embraces that charge by equipping leaders to grow in wisdom, reinforce unity within the Diocese, and walk confidently in their God‑given purpose. Through this resource, every servant‑leader is encouraged to deepen their spiritual resilience, strengthen their ministry practice, and serve with the unmistakable grace of Christ.

Stay tuned because more information is forthcoming about this project and the first meeting of 2026.
