What is a GROW week?

GROW week is 1 week out of each month where we encourage YOU (the student) to serve your local community of believers.

The idea behind the “GROW” week can be summarized in two questions:

1. What is a Disciple?

‘GROW Week” is a Sunday where you have the opportunity to be a doer of the Word and not just a hearer of the Word. As scripture teaches us, “faith without works is dead.” Therefore, a disciple is one who not only trains in knowledge, but leads through self-sacrificial love. Are you a disciple?

2. What does it mean to be a “member” of the Church?

“What did you think of the worship?” “How was the sermon?” “I don’t like how they do that.”  Have you become a church consumer instead of a church member? If you have, then these questions may be commonplace to you, but this is never how Christ intended the Church to be. “Now you are the body of Christ, and individual members of it” (I Cor. 12:27).
As a functioning member, will you…
Give? Serve? Minister? Evangelize? Study? Seek to be a blessing to others? Be a source of unity in the Church?

Patterson Park desires to equip you, so that you will be able to minister in the unique ways that God has gifted you within the
opportunities God has provided for you.

“GROW Week” Opportunities: Greeter, coffee bar, ushers, tech team, children’s
ministry, special connections, nursery, etc… email RRICHTER@PATTERSONPARK.ORG for a list of ministries and their contact info.

What if I haven’t committed to serving anywhere yet? Or, What if I serve on Sundays other than the “Grow Week”? 

All High School Students who are not serving within the church will join the combined high school/college age care & share in The Underground at 10:30am this coming Sunday.
