The Spirit Of Cooperation

Church members believe that the Preacher is to carry the weight for the church. They believe that the Preacher is suppose to grow the church. They believe that the Preacher is suppose to make sure everything is perfect, while they just come to get their blessings. While there is a great responsibilty on the Preacher, the church only can be great if their is a "spirit of cooperation" and folks move from being a member to a disciple. At Holy Trinity we stopped counting our membership and started to weigh our membership because we realized that there are some there who we have to pull along the way, and there are some who are pulling their own weight. These are they who have decided to partner with the preacher in order to get the job done for the Lord.
