Resources
The Ministry and Mission committee is continually working to resource the church for spiritual vitality. In order to do this better, we have established a small resource facility from which ministers and church leaders can borrow a variety of books, CDs and DVDs. A number of ministers have also been requested to provide recorded sermons for distribution on DVD and a small library is being established.
Our hope is that as church leaders engage with these materials, the benefits will extend to their families, friends, congregations and communities to create an increasingly healthy and vibrant denomination.
Listed below, are the titles available for borrowing. They have been sorted into relevant categories.
