Getting members involved in the various ministries of the church is
extremely important to their spiritual growth and the overall health of the
church. Church health has become more important than Church Growth. The
strongest and biblically healthiest churches have the majority of their
members actively serving in some capacity of ministry. Someone described working in a church like a football game — there are 22
players on the field desperately needing rest, while there are 50,000 fans
in the stands, desperately needing exercise. The 80/20 rule is common in
most churches. 80% of the people are “spectators,” while 20% are
“participators.” Also 20% of the people are doing 80% of the work causing
many members to “burn-out” or become discouraged. Pastors and leaders must
improve their assimilation and networking of members into ministry or
continue to suffer the consequences.
Helping members discover their giftedness and “shape” for ministry will
encourage and energize them better than most other efforts. Focusing on
membership involvement and finding a place for every member is extremely
important for every church. Teaching members how to avoid and resolve
conflicts is also imperative, because most of the problems in the church
today are not theological, but relational.
Conflict Resolution Management is no longer an option. Understanding how
Spiritual Gifts and DISC Personality Types respond in conflicts is very
enlightening. Both motivations must be understood. Personality insights by
themselves are not enough. Combining Spiritual Gifts with DISC Personality
Types can save hours in counseling, teaching, and training time.
Dr. Mels Carbonell of Uniquely You has taken 40 years of experience in
ministry and developed an effective and simple discipleship plan that
centers on biblically and scientifically getting members involved in the
ministries of their churches. Focusing on Spiritual Gifts and DISC
Personality Types, church members can identify their individual purpose and
drive for ministry. Being “purpose-driven” is very popular, but must result
in involvement in one’s local church.
Recruiting and placing members into the ministries of their churches is
greatly improved through assessments and scientific profiling. People are
fascinated with self-discovery and self-help. The church must improve its
teaching and training to succeed in this constantly challenging world.
Church leaders must be more innovative by finding discipleship and
membership programs and processes that result in church health and growth.
Uniquely You specializes in leadership and discipleship training through
assessing Spiritual Gifts and DISC Personality Types that result in more
effective and stronger churches for God’s glory.
