A Ministry Team is a small group of individuals established to further the Objects and Purposes of the Association as a small community in which the members are committed to the following areas of ministry function:
Prayer
Evangelism

Team Development
Leadership
Ministry Teams will function as an intimate small group of individuals of the same gender. Gender specific groups have been shown to be more cohesive and helpful to members and to the overall effectiveness of the team. Groups seeking to relate to others in pursuit of our mission are far more effective where like-mindedness, openness and transparency prevail, as it encourages and develops compatibility within the groups.
Ministry Teams may conduct gender specific or gender neutral outreach events, and training events as required.
