SHARE MINISTRIES

Sharing Christ

“…repentance for forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in His name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.” Luke 24:47

SHARE Ministry is the primary outreach ministry at West Park. New families in the community, our own West Park guests, and others who don’t have a church home may receive a contact from one of our SHARE Team Members. Quite frequently, this initial contact is welcomed by families and individuals who may be looking for a church home or want to know more about Jesus Christ. It is our privilege to share Christ in Knoxville, our “ Jerusalem,” and to welcome people to the Body of Christ and this local church!

What is the SHARE Ministry?

SHARE is the primary community outreach ministry of West Park. SHARE Team members can serve in one of the following areas:

• Prayer – These intercessors pray for our visitation teams, the guests they will visit, and other relevant needs.
• Letter Writing – Writing encouraging letters and notes to our guests, people who have recently moved to our area, and even to missionaries who partner with West Park is a vital aspect of the ministry.
• Telephone Calls – SHARE Team members contact our guests and others who have recently moved to our community by phone.
• Visitation – Team members make friendly in-home visits with those who have been our guests in a service or activity. These servants of the Lord go in teams of two with one person usually taking the lead in the conversation while the praying partner offers silent intercession and further encouragement during a brief visit.
