LEVI MINISTRY
They must keep hold of the deep truths of the faith with a clear conscience. They must first be tested; and then if there is nothing against them, let them serve as deacons.
1 Timothy 9-10
This Levi Ministry consists of our deacons and ministers. These faithful men and women have been found to be faithful servants and blameless examples to the church they are appointed to serve, KLBC. As KLBC Levitical ministry, their role is to assist the pastor in ministering to the needs of the congregation and the community. Along with helping candidates prepare for baptism and studying God’s Word, the Levi Ministry also functions in other area as well.
Our work does not start and end with verbally spreading the word. It is also accompanied by benevolent actions, such as visiting the homebound and sick, managing clothes closets, providing care packages, etc. Our pastor teaches that before you can meet the needs of the spiritual side of man, you must first meet the needs of the physical side.
Services of the Levi Ministry
Bereavement
“Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal’
…Death is a part of life, and the we seek to compassionately serve those that are experiencing this transition in life. The ministry has extensive knowledge of the funeral industry and can help individuals navigate the process during this critical time. They are also equipped to direct individuals to other services needed such as: grief counseling, pre-planned arrangements, etc.
Prayer
Known as our PUSH (Pray Until Something Happens) Ministry, we are here to provide opportunity for people to seek prayer and intercession. We provide various opportunities, whether collectively or individually, for an encounter with the Living God.
Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.
Jeremiah 29:12
Seekers
"And He (Jesus) said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature".
Mark 16:15 (NKJV)
The Seekers Ministry of KLBC, is led by our Levitical team (deacons and ministers). However, as God’s children, we are all instructed and purposed to go into the world with the "mission" of sharing the messages and teachings of Jesus Christ. Therefore, one does not have to be in this leadership role to tell of the good news!
As Seekers for Christ, we aim to…
Persuade – Seek to convince nonbelievers of the gospel truth.
Present the Truth – Things will get harder. One will experience blessings and difficult times. Sin alienates people from God. God judges us by our sin. God sent His son to live here perfectly, die in our place, to rise with victory over sin and death, etc.
Act in Love – Love is action and Love is God
“Whoever does not love, does not know God, because God is love. “
1 John 4:8
Be courageous – It’s not about us, but about God. When we understand this and begin to operate in His power, spreading the good news of Christ will get a lot less scary.
