SW OHIO Resource Panels District Resource Panels - exist to help individuals and churches on the front lines of several different ministry areas. Our district is filled with very talented and spiritually-gifted individuals who have volunteered their time, resources and experience to help you or your church in one of the following critical areas of ministry (list below). The church works best when it works together - so please be a part of this new and exciting district effort to increase unity and effectiveness in ministry!
What you can expect - Each panel consists of several ministers and or lay leaders from across the district who have been selected because of excellence in ministry in a particular area. Upon contacting the leader of a particular area you or your church would like assistance in, the leader himself or another member of the resource team will contact you to discuss your needs and ways the resource team can help. These resource panels are not in place to take over ministry in your church but rather to provide coaching, ideas, inspiration and mentorship to bring a new degree of excellence to your ministry.
Please share - we ask that you share your stories of with us as we build this new program. If you contact a resource panel and find their guidance and listening ear helpful, please let us know so that your story might encourage others to be a part of this wonderful opportunity.
