Harvest
The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few…
Applications for Harvest 2024 close 14th January, 2024
The vision of Grace City is to see thousands of disciples throughout Sydney and beyond radically committed to the cause of Christ. This vision requires a growing group of leaders intentionally and sacrificially investing their time, talents and treasure into the kingdom of God, and being equipped to serve him faithfully. For some this will mean pursuing full time vocational ministry. For others it will involve serving God while continuing to work and study in secular fields.
Under God, we long to see an ever increasing number of Grace City Members equipped to minister in their homes, workplaces and church, both locally and further afield. *Harvest* provides an opportunity to grow as a leader and prepare to partner with Grace City for the long-term as we seek to reach the lost here in Sydney.
The harvest is plentiful
but the workers are few...
Who is it for?
Any adult Grace City member who has demonstrated a growing Christian maturity who:
– is eager to grow and serve under the leadership of the Grace City team
– has demonstrated a commitment to Grace City church membership through regular attendance at Sunday services, Community group, and service on a ministry team,
– is willing to set aside 1 day a week to train with us at Grace City,
– is seeking to have a greater gospel impact in their secular workplace or study,
– may have an openness to consider full time ministry in the future but isn’t ready to jump the whole way in yet.
Commitment
Harvest involves a weekly commitment of 8hrs during the week in addition to Sunday ministry and Community Group leading. These hours are a combination of fixed office and flexible.
It is important to recognise that committing to Harvest will mean saying “no” to some additional work and social opportunities.
The program includes:
You will be equipped to serve in a level 3 leadership role in at least 2 ministry areas throughout the year. You will be expected to initiate meeting monthly with at least 2 members of Grace City for one-to-one bible reading. You will be involved in a Sunday ministry which may involve an up-front ministry. Specific training and opportunity upon request.
You will meet fortnightly with the director of the ministry area in which you are serving. The purpose of this coaching is to equip you to lead well in your ministry. You will also have a reading list to complete across the year.
You will receive fortnightly training with other interns, MTS apprentices and Student Ministers from our ministry staff on topics of ministry and leadership.
We will help you meet with another mature member of Grace City of the same gender for mutual spiritual growth and christian maturing.
You will complete 2x Moore College PTC courses by participating in Deeper at Grace City.
