Getting outside the box

I love media ministry. If you've ever met me, you know that because that's all I talk about...it just radiates from within me. But there's more to ministry than just media. I believe we are all wired for service, but not in just one area. That's why First Media is getting outside our box.

On Sunday mornings, we literally serve in a 60 x 20 box (control room) that separates us from the rest of the church. It's my mission to get our staff and volunteers even more involved in our church and in our community. We're currently collecting diapers for our local Crisis Pregnancy Center. In March we'll host Room in the Inn where we bring homeless men from downtown Nashville, feed them, do their laundry, spend time talking with them, etc. We'll be working in the coming weeks to identify even more ministry opportunities in our community.

Our primary ministry may always be media, but there are so many other opportunities to minister to those around us. It's time to focus on them!
