How
does this ministry work?
The ministry which has a need submits a "Request A
Servant" form. The form is prayerfully considered
with servants who have submitted an "Availability Form". The staff associated with this ministry will
prayerfully look for common qualifiers that would indicate that
the available servant and ministry should be in contact with each
other. This is a Spirit led ministry and each request and
applicant are prayerfully considered. We believe that the
Lord may provide a servant to fill a ministry need that may not
make sense, logically, but we are "impressed by His
Spirit" that the two should contact each other. The
requesting ministry is then provided information for
as many servants as are available, for that ministry to
interview and prayerfully discern that their request has been
met. In certain cases, the available servant may
initiate contact with the requesting ministry.
This ministry (Calvary Chapel Network of Servants) is simply a
"means" to let the ministry know that the servant is
available.

Will
this interfere with my regular church ministries?
No.
God is a God of order and not confusion.
We do not believe that His Spirit would lead you to serve
in two places at the same time.
You should be able to serve in this ministry without
affecting your service for God someplace else.

Will
I be compensated or offered a regular position?
By serving in this ministry,
the servant agrees not to ask for any
monetary compensation for his or her temporary service.
If the ministry need is a paid or permanent position, then that
arrangement is between the ministry and the servant.

Is there a
charge for this ministry?
The
Lord supports this ministry. There are no fees charged to
connect the servant with the ministry need.

Do I have to
attend a Calvary Chapel to serve in this ministry?
Yes. We ask that you acknowledge that you are a born
again believer and have been in regular fellowship at a Calvary
Chapel for at least 6 months and/or have read and agree with the
Calvary Chapel Distinctives (see link below) before applying
to serve with this ministry. We believe that the servants
who participate in this ministry should come from a
like-minded background where a servant’s heart is emphasized.
We would not want to have anyone feel that they are being
asked to serve the Lord in a manner that they do not agree with.
All Servants serving through this ministry
are encouraged to read the Calvary Chapel Distinctives book
available for reading online at: Calvary
Chapel Distinctives

for that
calling.

God be the Glory!
