ACCOMPANY@cchd

Description:
Stress levels are much higher nowadays. In fact, stress levels are so high that some people can’t even cope with it anymore. We want to provide an alternative to society’s medical solutions/treatments for those individuals who need support in some, or all areas of their life. Some of these areas vary (finances, household, free time etc.) from person to person. Our support is offered in the stress-free and safe environment of CCHD. We build teams of 2 to 3 people to support one person. Members of the teams maintain constant open lines of communication to optimize their support. In addition, the teams are also provided oversight by a person who is not directly involved and who provides feedback/direction for them. IMPORTANT: The ministry is not a professional kind of counseling. We simply want to take care of one another as friends and family, and walk through the difficult times together.

Kleine Herde

Description:
The ministry of the „Kleine Herde“ or “Little Herd” is for all kids ages 5 and up. Our kids program is every Sunday from 10:30am to 12:15pm. We provide a colourful and entertaining program (stories, games, singing, prayer, snacks, talking) to pass on to the kids truths about God that can help them in their everyday life. The children are encouraged to trust God as a loving father and live their life with him. During and after the program, the staff also has the goal of building supportive and meaningful relationships with the kids. The staff member takes the role of a teacher, a friend, and a mentor who listens, gives advice and prays with and for the children. Our verse: Colossians 2:2 We want the kids to be encouraged and knit together in love. We wish that they have full trust because they recognize and understand God’s mystery – that is Christ – in its whole dimension.,

Sound

As all other ministries at the church, the Audio/Video ministry is also there to give glory to God in combination with worship. It is an integral part of the worship ministry and serves as a tool to aid the worship team to lead the church into an attitude of worship before God. Key aspects are: Stage setup, testing the equipment for optimal function, mixing of voices/instruments for worship and teaching/translation, and recording of teachings in MP3 format.

Translation

Description:
Our task is to translate the teaching into German/English. Through translating we participate directly in teaching the word of God. We want to make ourselves available, just as the pastor, as a mouthpiece of God. We prepare before the service by reading the Bible passage and the teaching manuscript. We also support the pastor through prayer.

Ushering

Description:
This ministry is for men and women who want to provide practical support before and during service. The tasks are a necessity to ensure a good flow of the service: greeting people (especially those who are first time guests), making sure the sanctuary is in order, guiding late arrivals to an available seat, giving out bibles etc. The usher also has eye contact with the preaching person and through that is able to react to distractions and can support the preaching person through his/her prayers

Dietmar: dietmar@cchd.de

Worship

Description:
We want to help people enter into the throne room of God. We want to become transparent so they can only see Jesus. Our goal is also to support our Pastor in the vision he has for the church and the services as a whole. We want to perform the music in such a way that it doesn’t distract people from seeking God. This means we don’t put too little or too much emphasis on the musical side of worship. People involved in this ministry should be able to carry a tune with their voices and have a good sense of rhythm and melody. Musicians are spiritual role models to the church. Second to the pastor, they are the ones with the most exposure. Visitors and others will measure what the church stands for through them. Areas: Worship at services, Sound, Open Song, Practical Workshops
